Geocache Description:

"Near Landmark" series is a series of caches placed close to the landmark.

Such a legend is handed down in this stone image.
Blood seems to spout there when it starts making this stone image the material of the torii of Harumiya and the flea is put.
Masons were frightened and stopped working for that.
Then, it seems to have taught the place of the stone of taking the place appearing to one in one's sleep on that evening.
Workmen who found good stone seem to have enshrined the stone image as amitabha Buddha.

As for this stone image, Taro Okamoto became famous for the thing of which it greatly spoke very highly , saying that "Such an interesting potato has not seen".

There is cache while facing the stone image.
Cache is a plastic case with 340ml.

伝説によれば、この石仏を春宮大鳥居の材料にしようとしてノミを入れたところ、
そこから血が噴きだしたそうです。
石工達は恐れをなして作業をやめたのですが、石仏がその晩に夢枕に立って代わりの石材の在処を教えてくれたそうです。
石材を見つけた職人たちは、石仏を阿弥陀如来として祀ったそうです。

この石仏は、岡本太郎氏が「こんな面白いもの見たことがない」と大絶賛したことで有名になりました。
キャッシュは石仏に向かう途中にあります。
キャッシュは、340mlのプラスチックケースです。
