1. A position locator for locating a position of a radio tag in which data can be read and written in a contactless manner, comprising:
- an antenna device having a directionality, for receiving a harmonic signal generated from the radio tag;
a control device for controlling a direction to which the antenna device is directed; and
an outputting device for outputting position information corresponding to a direction, and reception information indicating whether or not the harmonic wave from the direction was received, regarding each of the directions to which the antenna device is directed.
