takanori.tomimatsu.apple Posted May 16, 2015 Share #221 Posted May 16, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ok, after checking the hotel and neighborhood out a bit, I think the best place to meet will be the Granbell hotel cafe. This is located on the first floor (ground floor to the Europeans!) to the left of reception. I would suggest the following as a starter: Sunday morning: I will be in the cafe from 1000-1030. After that, I will probably head over to Harajuku/Yoyogi Park, and the Meiji shrine. I appreciate that no one will really have arrived by this point, with the exception of Philippe and the locals, so I might be in my own Sunday evening: if anyone wants to join for dinner and an evening stroll I would suggest meeting in the hotel cafe at 1830 Monday: I will be in the cafe from 0930-1000. After that see what people feel like doing, but one suggestion would be Asakusa and Senso-ji Monday evening: a lot more people will have arrived by then, so let's meet in the cafe at 1700 Hello, Simon Thank you for your kind info. But I'm sorry to say that I couldn't join the Sunday's and Monday's plan. If you would visit to the Leica Store Tokyo Ginza (Leica Gallery) on Tuesday 19th or Wednesday 20th May, I could meet you and other members. Please give a thought to my proposal.

However as you mentioned earlier you have a basic cell phone without data, so it may be that it does not support 3G since this is a cellular data standard.

Dan Bachmann Posted May 17, 2015 Share #226 Posted May 17, 2015 I've just arrived in Japan - now away from work, I can keep up on these message threads! There are some Japanese ladies into cameras (toy camera style I think) interested in saying meeting our group. Ritsuko is co-ordinating them meeting at the Shinjuku Granbell hotel lobby around 6pm tonight. We can then head off for food - or we may be shown some good photo spots. Ritsuko has wifi and her Japanese mobile as listed in the private threads. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalHeMan Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share #227 Posted May 17, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Sounds good. We have planned to meet at 1830 in the lobby but can meet at 1800 instead. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StS Posted May 17, 2015 Share #228 Posted May 17, 2015 Both 1800 or 1830 would be fine with me. I'll have a look at 6. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jujube, Definitely we would love for you to join us in Kyoto. We arrive sometime on the 21st (probably early afternoon) and then have our challenge and group dinner on the 23rd. Then most people leave on 24th. Please send me your cell phone by PM and we can make sure you are kept up to date with the agenda once we know it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
