You are going to Tokyo on business. You have a meeting at a certain place and all you have is the address. You have no way of contacting other meeting participants to find out the location and you have no map. What is the best way to find the location?

Ask at the nearest police box.

yah i agree
also like googling partial addresses to get an idea of landmarks (its helped ME anyway)
address needs to be written in japanese

places not worth wasting time asking
combini stores or fire stations, etc etc etc

but it was across the street

Probably easier than the police box, but not as cheap:
1: Get in a cab.
2: Hand him the address.
3: Pray he doesn't take you the scenic route.

The other option is to get the map:
