Notably, the real 39th Jūdan challenger five-game series was held from March to April 2001, and Kokuyo Royal Hotel hosted this match on April 5 as the venue for Game 3. Jūdan five-game series Game 5: Meijin Toya vs. 9-dan Ogata (vol. 14 p. 124). Appears in a newspaper article under the headline "Ogata Wins Jūdan Title" as "Nagano Omachi Royal Hotel." No illustration appears.
