Ever heard of Geocaching? It's a cool app that let's people go around treasure hunting and finding actual treasures hidden by people across the globe. And so I wanted to see if I could find anything (maybe even THE ONE PIECE) if I ventured out into the mountains of Okutama, Japan... and to my surprise... I FOUND SOMETHING CRAZY.

Geocaching is more like a little niche hobby. It's a sort of thing all over the world where people will put coordinates for something to find, and at least before the app, they'd have something to write your name down, and the usual courtesy is you can take something, but you also need to leave something behind for the next person to find it.

I mean, you ARE breaking one of the rules of Geocaching by showing EXACTLY where these are, but the community will forgive you as you're bringing more exposure to it, meaning more people, meaning more fun!

This is actually so good, hopefully this starts a new trend because Geocaching is such a great way to get people out and exploring areas (and learning basic orienteering). As others have said although there were a few faux pas in showing the location and being obvious to random but it’s ok as a new cacher and it brings more people in to the hobby. Remember to leave not just the cache how Ou found it but also the surrounding environment, making sure not to destroy or damage sensitive ecosystems. A tip for most caches is to try look right on the GPS coordinates, especially that one at the station, I reckon it could very well be a fake rock in the garden or magnetized somewhere on the bench. I’ve even seen fake screws as caches so micro caches are indeed micro

Interesting to see Joey doing something I enjoyed doing ~10 years ago, even though Geocaching was a bit different back then (being without an app and only going by coordinates, you would bring with you stuff so when you found the cache you would take the contents, except the note where you wrote your name/date, and then replace it with your own, and sometimes the cache would lead you to others caches and/or have riddles/red herrings). I did this in a small town in rural Sweden as well, so not something only in big cities.

I’ve enjoyed geocaching, especially ones with some challenge. One was a series of puzzles leading to the cache, with only the coordinates of the first challenge being given. Each subsequent puzzle provided a clue or coordinates to the next one, and finally the treasure. On another I was “First To Find” and it only gave nearby coordinates, and required a code that had to be figured out from a clue. Luckily, I remembered enough high school chemistry to recognize periodic table symbols within the clue, and then used their atomic numbers to sequence the code. We even got our own geotags created, with a unique logo and tracking number. We leave them in the cache, when people take them, they can enter them online, and leave them in another cache. Some have gone around the world.

Been a few years since i last did any Geocaching but i have a good deal of experiance with something like 300 caches that i have found, the vast majority of my hunting has been done in my home country sweden but whenever i travel abroad, which is rarely i like to do some geocaching to. I've even made 1 geocache myself. My nr 1 tip for finding micro caches specifically is that they usually come in the form of uninflated soda bottles, the little plastic tubes that later become all different types of soda bottles. But geocaching is great, its a little something extra to do while exploring and experiancing the great outdoors, and i love that its global, no matter where you are there is bound to be a dosen for you to find. Great to see you try it out!

I installed geochache to make myself get out of the house more because finding hidden treasure sounds fun! And I mean it did work...for a bit...but then I got lazy again lol. Tips I guess would be to bring gloves (sometimes the container is dirty), bring a little trinket to put in/swap something with, always take a pen (like you did) and to have another set of eyes to help look. Sometimes they are VERY well hidden and the hints suck. I've had to come back to ones multiple times to try and find them. Or they're not very well upkept and put in areas where it's dangerous/not easy to get to or they're no longer there. And obviously obey signs/local laws while hunting.

Look under everything. Try every nut and bolt. Sometimes it's a large bolt with a magnet in it. Some Caches are in small camera film cases. Some are magnets about the size of a 1 cent coin. Also if the cache is large enough you can put in little things to gift to others who may need it. Shame all those items were old. But they get wet and weather damaged a lot. If you think one needs maintenance message the person who put it there. Also some caches require photo taking. Also some are Co ordinates. Which take you to 3 different locations. Setting your own cache is an amazing feeling.

I have climbed trees, swam to small islands and explored abandoned bomb shelters just to get my name on a log book. 3069 finds and 12 hides this far, with no end on sight. And for a small tip, micro/nano caches can be small as the tip of your finger. Micro caches tend to be painful to find.

So maybe see if you can get a group to do it, whether you do it as a video or not is your call, but it might be fun to explore places you wouldn't necessarily have gone to otherwise

I will say, some Geocaches are super small. I have found one that was a little smaller then the cap on a tube of Chapstick, basically all that could fit was a rolled up piece of paper. So definitely make sure to look everywhere. Also a small problem Geocaching has is people stealing the caches because they consider them littering, so there are times when the geocache you're looking for is just not there.

It might be kind of fun, to: A. Do another one of these. B. Include it into the next "across Japan" series. C. To make your own or add some things to existing one.

Aaah I remember when geocaching had a big boom maybe like 12 years ago? Obviously no apps for it yet, I think you started on coordinates from the Internet and some were just that one place, while others had the next clue at that coordinate and so you went from stop to stop. We had to use an actual GPS device, too, since phones didn't commonly have that yet. Man, scouts were a good time :) I recommend joining a scouts group if yall like outdoors adventures, there aren't many ppl who join scouts groups anymore, I've seen way too many groups dissappear!

Some stuff left in the geocaches are called “geo-junk” or “geo-trash” by some users, based upon the quality of the items. It can literally be garbage that people have, and can be discarded by the cache owner if they maintain their caches.

Geocaching existed as a hobby since maps and compasses got affordable to the common citizen. The real trick to doing it is to use nothing more than said map and compass and working off nothing more than the estimated pacing distance.

This was super rad. Also took a look at their website & there are some sneaky caching gear. Like large hollow magnetic bolts, fake rocks, ect. It looks so fun.

That's a quite big micro cache. The one by the station is probably a magnetic capsule on the back of a sign or something. It's not supposed to be super easy to find or they might be stolen or taken away by muggles cleaning the area.

Geocaching is one of my favorite things to do but only discovered after I came back from Japan always look the unexpected places. Think outside the box so to speak when it comes to finding them. Some are most likely magnetic. Always carry a pen.

I didn't know what this video was gonna be about when I clicked it, then like 2 frames in I went "oh, geocaching xD". My dad does it as a hobby and has been at it for like 10 years now. Sometimes he brings me along on his trips because I'm better at solving riddles than he is, and it's fun! Oh and btw: The micro-sized caches can be as tiny as like 1 or 2 cm small metal cylinders with just a tiny roll of paper inside to leave your name on.

The Finnish Humppa-band Eläkeläiset (the Pensioners) started to do this sort of activity a long time ago (I think 90's). They hid booze bottles to random places and released the maps to the locations in their web pages. I bet there are still many of their bottles hidden in the Germany even now.

Bro I just started geocaching! Its crazy to think this world has existed in many places I've been before, but had no idea these caches existed. I tried to go geocaching near my house 14+ years ago, but I didn't have a dedicated GPS and phones aren't what they are today si all I had was a print out map. Crazy how time changes these things. I like how the uninitiated are called muggles, and now I can call myself an ex muggle! I'm up to 12 finds so far!

Geocaching is a blast, a great way to explore new places and see new sites. When you find one, you should log it to let the owner know it is still active. I have gone to Japan just for caching, thanks for showing it off to your community. Happy Hunting!
