To Seijo: There are two exits the real minami guchi which leads
to the main road, and higashi minami guchi (tou nan guchi?) which
leads to the plaza and large steps down. As you come out of
higashi minami, turn hard left you will see HMV (?or Tower
Records or something). Don't go in there, further left and there
is an entrance you probably have never seen before. You can buy
an ice cream there.
Okubo, I couldn't explain. Go and have a browse (head south from
JR Okubo).
