Our office is located in Tokyo. You can find us in a cool place called Toranomon (literally translated as the tiger's gate) which is one of Tokyo's business hubs. For example, Facebook is in the building in front of us, Kikkoman (famous soy sauce) is next to us and one of the oldest soba places in town is just around the corner! It gets better: Tokyo Tower and the famous Zojo-ji temple is just a short walk away! We also have awesome izakaya's (Japanese pubs), cafes and more so come hang out with us!
