My trip to Tokyo (Osato's headquarters)

Hi all. It's been a while since I posted. I've been participating on other forums. Anyway I just got back from Tokyo and I made it a point to visit the New Otani Hotel which was a location for YOLT. Specifically, Osato's office building.
I was in somewhat of a rush because my itinerary was full and daylight was fading fast.
After snapping some pictures of the front, I went to the back of the hotel which contains a very large and beautiful garden area. My mission was to locate
the pair of deer sculptures which are visible in the film during the fight on the lawn between Connery and the assassin who had just stabbed Henderson. After some walking, I located one of the stags off a path close to a public lavatory. I'm pretty sure that when Connery gets in the getaway car disguised as the aasassin, the car was on the hotel service road which runs along the back border of the garden down a slope from where the deer stands today.

Very nice!
I have been there 8 years ago and was amazed, that virtually nothing has changed there over the decades. I also took the walk behind the hotel.
Have you been to Kagoshima as well? Tanaka's bath house is still there and you can see the street, where Little Nellie took off.
Akime is really difficult to approach, but if yoiu really want it, you can make it to there as well! I did!
