Click here for a map to the Young Buddhists Association in Hongo Sanchome from the Marunouchi or Oedo subway lines. Both lines run through Shinjuku Station. The stop on both lines is called Hongo-Sanchome.  

Directions: From the Marunouchi line station, turn right after passing through the ticket barrier and follow the alley out to the main street. The building where the meetings are held is across the street. You can cross at the traffic lights on the corner (see map). From the Oedo line station, take exit no. 5 and turn to the left after leaving the station. Follow the main street and then turn left again at the corner with the traffic lights (see map).
