The game venue for the second game of the five-game Judan title match, in which Ogata 9-dan challenged Meijin Koyo Toya, the Judan title holder who also holds Tengen, Oza, and Igo titles. The location is not explicitly stated in the work, but the hotel's distinctive serrated windows make it easily recognizable, so it can be identified as this hotel. The hotel has no crane for cleaning windows, but by coincidence I photographed an airport bus stopping at the hotel entrance, which closely resembles the manga scene! At first I thought the plant above the window in the manga was growing directly from the eaves, but later I found it was the reflection of branches from trees across the way on the smooth wall. Ms. Obata is very meticulous! Although I checked the hotel's official website, I could not confirm the interior scene. Judan Five-Game Match, Game 2: Toya Meijin vs. Ogata 9-dan (vol.13 p.33).
