Shinjuku's a beast, I get it. The Tokyo Credit Association building itself is pretty straightforward to find once you're in the general area, but the getting there part can be stressful. Honestly, using the subway is your best bet. Figure out the closest station to the office – it'll probably be one of the major Shinjuku lines – and just follow the signs. They're surprisingly good in Tokyo. Even with your documents, it’ll be less chaotic than trying to navigate the streets above ground. As for coffee... there are tons of places around the station. Just look for something that seems relatively calm and not too packed – you’ll spot them easily. Don't stress too much about finding the best coffee; focus on finding a quiet place to center yourself before your meeting. You'll be fine.

Good luck with your Indiana Jones impression! Kanto International's old wing... yeah, that place is a maze. I wouldn't hold my breath on finding a secret samurai chamber though. More likely it's just really old and poorly maintained. Maybe some dusty storage closets? A forgotten janitor's supply room? That's way more realistic than a hidden escape tunnel. Your cousin's probably pulling your leg, or maybe she's just got a really good imagination. Still, exploring the old wing sounds fun – take lots of pictures! You might actually find something interesting, even if it's not ancient artifacts.
