> Higashi-Oji and Higashi-Ichijo (bus stop: Higashiyama Higashi-Ichijo).  
> At the head of the stairs, immediately to your right you will see the  
> large five-story University Head Office  [Honbuto]. Walk past the  
> front of this building, and onto the path between this building and  
> the old brick building to its left. You will enter a large clearing,  
> to the right of which is a small, one-story wood and glass building.  
> This is the jPod.
