+Fish Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Greetings from the Great White North (Canada)! I am planning to be in Tokyo this summer. Are there any cachers in the Tokyo area who are interested in meeting and possibly exchanging some travel bugs? Fish Quote Link to comment
+cache_us_if_you_can Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 (edited) How long before you go? We're launching our first TB soon and Japan may be an interesting goal for it (ie up to you in Canada, then over to Japan). Just a thought.

Nightingale Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Hi, Certainly there are some geocachers in Tokyo area. Japan's very first event cache was held in central Tokyo early April, that was successful. Unfortunately I could not join that party as I am in 1000 Km west of Tokyo. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...97-bf514c5e935a Do search caches in Japan. You may want to contact some geocachers in Tokyo. Quote Link to comment

+sammydee Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 I just returned to California after a very nice business trip to Tokyo. This was my first trip to Japan. While there I was lucky enough to go caching several times. Because of jet lag I would wake up early in the morning (0600), then go caching, then return to my hotel to get ready for my meetings. Several times I would take the subway from my Akasaka area hotel to find caches. I found ODAIBA, Magneto and Four Valleys, and couldn't find "A strange building near Asakusa". I want to say "Thank you" to the cachers who are responsible for these caches. They were all in very nice places, and they are all in places that I would not have visited if the cache wasn't there. Geocaching is a great way to see a new city! Quote Link to comment
tatoeba Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 I want to say "Thank you" to the cachers who are responsible for these caches. They were all in very nice places, and they are all in places that I would not have visited if the cache wasn't there. Geocaching is a great way to see a new city! I just got back from Tokyo and if knew that, I would have brought my GPS to hunt down those caches. I will be back in February so I am taking notes! Thanks SammyDee! Quote Link to comment
+Explorer99 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Make sure you search just before you leave for Japan as several caches have disappeared in the last couple of weeks. So many people make it hard to keep things hidden here. Quote Link to comment
+Fish Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Greetings Tokyo cachers, It looks like once again my ship is going to Japan this summer. This time I'll wrap my ankle with bubble wrap , and I have a couple of other cachers on the ship!!! As timings get more concrete I'll be letting everyone know. We should try to plan an event. anyone interested please email me. Fish Quote Link to comment
+matz Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Hello, Are you getting well now? Please tell us when the day you come to Japan. We are always welcome all of you. Quote Link to comment
+TeamSparky Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hey everyone! I am in Japan on business and have been here two weeks and cannot get my GPS to pick up satellites. I would love to meet some other cahers in the area and either chat or go caching. I know it is short notice, and I leave Sunday morning, but if that works with you... email me! I am staying around Shiodome and working around Tamachi, but very comfortable getting around on the metro. Let me know if you are interested! Annie Quote Link to comment

Annie Annie, If you don't mind the transportation expense, I recommend heading to Odaiba, which is across the Bay. You can take the Yurikamome (elevated driver-less train/people mover) which has a stop in Shiodome. There's enough open area there that you can let your GPS adjust to the current time zone and get lock while you enjoy the sea breeze (It can take up to 15 minutes). Oh, and there's a cache there: GCJJ8F, ODAIBA You can combine a mandatory tourist stop by taking the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line to here: GCJAWG, A strange building near Asakusa I'm in California, so I won't be able to join you.

+miss_butterfly Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Darn it! i'm only arriving in Japan on saturday evening (from UK) and have to go on a trip with parents on sunday for few days sorry I won't be able to meet another geocacher in Japan. BTW i recommend going on a ride on the yurikagome, it takes you through the new and exciting areas of tokyo around the bay hope you enjoy your stay in Tokyo. Quote Link to comment
+matz Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Japanese geocacher "kussy" will come to Tokyo from Osaka tomorrow. He saids that "I will have supper at IZAKAYA that is located near Shibuya-Station(JR line) and if someone interest to join me, please feel free to come." on Japanese geocacher's BBS. http://etrexer.web.infoseek.co.jp/cgi-bin/gcbbs.cgi When : 12 Aug (tomorrow) 18:00(6:00PM)- Where : bar style "IZAKAYA SEN" http://izakayasen.cool.ne.jp/ (japanese) Only 5-7 minutes walk from Shibuya Station Hachiko-Exit. N 35°39.617' E 139°42.155' You'll see big red lantern at the front of the bar. He'll put geocaching.com's hat on his table, so you will not miss him. If you need English map to the "IZAKAYA SEN". I'll make and send you. I want to participate in this small event as much as possible. matz Tokyo/Japan Quote Link to comment
