A Go institute introduced to Waya and Isumi when they were looking for strong opponents. The owner of this institute is Hong Xiuying's uncle, and most of the customers are Korean. Later, Hikaru and Xiuying played a remarkable game here. From the shops "Utamaru" and "21st Century" in the same panel of the manga, we can infer the specific location of this institute. Comparing the manga panels with a real map, the institute can be identified as the Ota Building at 26-9 Udagawa-cho, Shibuya-ku. However, the Ota Building now houses a "Utahiroba" karaoke. On the other hand, the institute's exterior in the manga looks more like the Center Building across the street, so the author may have combined architectural features of this area. Notably, "Utamaru" and "21st Century" are no longer there and have been replaced by other shops. The model for the exterior of Xiuying's uncle's Go salon "Yanagi." (Vol. 9 P.100, 159) It appears to combine buildings and signs from the surrounding area. 26-2 Udagawa-cho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Ota Building. 26-2 Udagawa-cho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Metro Building. 25-5 Udagawa-cho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Center Building.
