Geocache Description:

This magnetic cache is very accessible though one must be sly to remain undetected.

Come to the island, get your bearings, arrive at the soaring tower and pay 'da man your fee. You must strive for the top and reach high but you can find this magnetic cache amongst all it is attracted to. WARNING: CLUE HAS BEEN UPDATED TO BE UNUSUALLY HELPFUL SINCE SO FEW HAVE FOUND THIS CACHE.

DIRECTIONS: train from Fujisawa, or Kamakura or Ofuna (via a hanging monorail!) and get off at Enoshima station. Then it is a 2km walk across a causeway to the start of Enoshima island which is small but hilly. Getting to any location on this island requires a lot of walking and typical elevation gains (though there are a few obscure escalators!...and paths are well-maintained). Enoshima is a terrific island to spend all day while you are there!

The island's terrain & paths are gentle but getting to any location on this island requires a lot of walking and typical elevation gains (though there are a few escalators and paths are well-maintained). Enoshima has so many things to see and so much variety. Link covers the basics. In nice weather there is a tiny boat that offers ferry service from the causeway to the cave area on the back side of island from about 10am-5pm. Taking the inexpensive ferry, if in season, will save "half the walking & time" & allow you to see twice as much.
