Japan Day 28: Moving Locations

We have moved from the Dormy Inn to the National Olympics Memorial Youth Center, which is right next to Yoyogi Park and Harajuku. (It used to be where the 1964 summer Olympians stayed, but is now available for rent to groups. Perhaps, the 2020 Olympics will bring new restorations.) It is in a pretty good location, but there are not that many amenities. There is also no wi-fi, so my posts for the next two weeks may be more sporadic and shorter. We spent most of today helping Showa Women's University Summer International Program participants (who are from 9 different countries!) move from Narita Airport to the Center. It was a very tiring day, but we are glad that everyone is safe and moved in! Here is the slightly drab view from my window:
Fortunately, there is a convenience store on the ground of of my building, Building D. It seems to have a lot of items in stock, and there is a large lounge area right next to it too. The outside area of the Center is not too shabby– very well-landscaped and architecturally sound. We will be very busy tomorrow once the program starts!
