We had half a day for free use in Tokyo. I decided to go to the Red Hat office to meet the collegues that I've been chatting with. Finding addresses without online maps accessable via phone is not easy.. I also took this photo of google maps as preparation.

The street in front of the office. Did not spot any logo or comany name from the street..

Just inside the building this can be seen..

The collegues at the reception did not change to English when I approached them in Japanese.

Really great to meet GSS and TAM folks there, thanks for taking the time! The visit of the Tokyo office was one of the best things of this travel.

What to do then? Since 4 years I was not at the Odeon-Onsen-Monogatari, a bathing place. So returned now. From Shinbashi a monorail train goes there.

See my pictures from 2008 for more on this Onsen.. here I am heading back to the city. Was driving with JR train lines (the Railpass made this flatrate) and using the Pasmo card I bought in 2008.
