The Works Address and How to Get There

[Giles]

They are cheaper.  No, when we go we have to have a translator…

It is the correct address, maybe it gets stuffed when you translate…..

Anyone knows any good sights, foods or places to go near the IHHQ?

[Snowy]

Not too much in the area from what I saw when there. Am the guys there could get you taken some where (they are as lovely as everyone here, says. (Please pass on a hello to them for/from me)).

What Giles has said about the taxi drivers, a) not speaking/reading english, and b) not having a clue where you're going is 100% correct. I ended up around the corner @ a temple (1 minute walk away), he was sure I wanted the temple not IH-HQ.

"192-0024
東京都八王子市宇津木町733-19"

Is what I showed the taxi driver when @ Hachioji station. Cost about $20USD each way.

[Snowy]

The peeps there are okay with english. I managed to communicate what I was trying to get across without too much effort…..

We had the adventure of a lifetime when me and my wife decided to take the bus from Hachioji station to IHHQ in 2011. Got off at the wrong stop and wandered around for some time before we found a motorcycle shop and the guys there knew where we heading and printed out maps and stuff for us. They spoke as much english as we did japanese but everything worked out fine in the end

[Snowy]

Yeah, I figured I could make it via bus (working iPhone+Maps = godsend), but felt the safety/knowing of a $40 round trip taxi out-weighed the bus :). Sounds like it was the right call. Glad you made it

[Finn666]

wow…great purchases buddy! the prices are sick though...

[Seul]

Great stuff supersalami!.. Massively stoked for ya!..

[davito]

Super supersalami what a trip and purchases. Looking forward seeing u with ur dad in some pics if possible congrats

[louisbosco]

Has anyone tried to take a bus there? Would anyone care to share any bus numbers besides taking a cab

[Giles]

Don't even try…...

[Giles]

It does not cost that much and if you flirt outrageously with Gon, she'll give you a lift back to the station….

[louisbosco]

noted giles. would probably just get a cab then.

[Friday]

Now thats a Purchase!! Nice one salami and its great to read that your dad share the same interests. Cool!

Looks like I failed that challenge, she only called a cab back for me ;(. Will have to try harder this year

[Seul]

It could always be worse - she called the cops on Giles the first time…
