 We have observed the field covering the error circle of
GRB090401B (Swift trigger 348152, GCN 9066, Schady et al.) 
with the unfiltered CCD camera on the 30-cm telescope 
at University of Miyazaki.
The observation was started 10:47:10 UT, about 1.8 hr
after the Swift trigger time.
We have compared our data of 30 sec exposures
with the USNO-A2.0 catalog,
There is no new source at the reported position.
(GCN 9068, Stamatikos et al. GCN 9070, Osborne et al. )

the upper limits are as follows:
