A Little Field Trip To Sony in Japan
Are you currently in Japan, or planning to go to Japan? If you are, you might want to take a trip to SCE (Sony Computer Entertainment). If you don’t know Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana, or doesn’t speak Japanese, it is better to tote around with someone who does. After all, you don’t want to get lost, don’t you?
First, get on a train bound to Shinjuku. Get off at Akasaka-mitsuke, which is the fourth stop from Tokyo. Head to the Ginza Line, which is the train on the other side of the platform. Get off at Aoyama-itchome. From there, leave the station. If a Honda dealership center welcomes you, then you’re on the right track. Turn right at the corner. Just head down the sidewalk and you will eventually see the TK Minamiaoyama Building, where the SCEI headquarters is situated. The first floor looks like a snazzy showroom, with the words, “PlayStation” emblazoned on the glass exterior. If you’re content with this tour you can now go home. If not, read more.
Turn around and go back to the Honda dealership place. Cross the street. Going down the sidewalk, you would pass by the Akasaka post office. Keep walking and you will arrive at the Akasaka Oji Building. But since this is not our desired destination, just keep going ahead. You will pass by a park and a BMW showroom before you get to the Aoyama Yasuda Building, where SCE Japan is. Now go back to Aoyama-itchome Station. Step on the Hanzomon Line, and take the train headed to Nagatacho. Upon arriving, head to the left, go up and climb aboard the Yurakacho Line. After two stops, leave the train AND the train station. Hopefully you have arrived at Ginza. If you see the Hankyu Department Store you’re on the track. Across a large intersection is the Ginza Showroom of Sony.
Finally, you can now get lost in the confines of the building.
