Map

Starting from February 4, 2007, we're going to play in a small park in Kabukicho.

It's called "Okubo Park", but we like to call it "Misery Park", after this Japan Times Article about it.

Please check out the map below for how to get there from Shinjuku station. The red line starts at the bottom of the map at a place called "Studio Alta". It's right outside the north end of Shinjuku station. It's a famous meeting place for people, and there's a huge TV screen that everyone gathers under. From there, it's mostly straight.

If you get lost, ask around for "Okubo Byoin" (Okubo Hospital". The hospital is right beside where we'll be playing (Convenient!), to the south of the playing area. So if you can find that, you can find us.

If you didn't already know, Kabukicho is probably the seediest red light district in Japan. That means you'll be walking by "massage" parlors, stepping over homeless people, and seeing lots of hookers, yakuza, and other local colour. Awesome! Map in English
