Look for a narrow entranceway in the middle of the block or ask someone once you're in the immediate vicinity. Telephone number: 03-3835-4987 Okachimachi is a very strong club that seems to attract more serious and active shogi players than the Shinjuku club. The stronger players there are about a rank stronger than those at other Tokyo clubs, so, I recommend that you submit your starting rank as one below your actual rank at that particular club. There are a few inexpensive places to eat directly across the street, under the JR train line. The Shinjuku club is a good place to visit as well, but it's often overcrowded. Good luck in the tournament and enjoy your trip!
