arriving at hotel: It is up to you to find your way to the hotel. We have not arranged transport. Here are some suggestions:

Avoid taking a cab, as they can be very expensive.
Subway/trains: Roppongi station (六本木駅) on the Toei Oedo line (都営大江戸線) and Hibiya line (日比谷線) is also in reasonable walking distance.

From the Oedo line take exit 8 marked for 'Midtown' and go straight ahead then up the escalator on the left and go straight. Follow the signs to the National Art Center, Tokyo. When you emerge from underground you'll be on a little pedestrian island. You should be able to see "Gaston & Gaspar" (a pasta restaurant) on the other side of the road. Cross the road and head left past Gaston and Gaspar. Take the first right and Mozilla Japan is soon on your left.

You can use Jorudan or Hyperdia to look for train connections.
