I lived in Tokyo for 8 years and never heard of the "landmark" HRC branch in Ueno Station. I can virtually guarantee that you could ask 1000 random Tokyoites and they wouldn't know either (unlike true landmark meeting places like Hachikō and the Mitsukoshi lion). I believe it's wrong to include information like this which derives primarily from a tiny minority foreign community perspective. But I have a policy not to revert the same thing twice.... just wanted to have my say. Djiann (talk) 15:30, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Its a meeting point within the station. i.e. a landmark within the station (or nearby) where which is clear an unambiguous particularly to a foreign visitor (Was discussed on Yahoo groups "Jtrains" starting 11 Nov 2006). I think it deserves a mention as the English edition is intended for mainly people outside Japan to read. Perhaps also worth mentioning that I was approached by someone looking for it (at the Park gate) and the guy (foreigner) was incredulous that I didn't know. From any other gate at Ueno it would be easy to find. The section on the station building also needs expanding as stations are increasingly not just a place to catch trains but to spend time (and money) in the shopping arcades.

But, by using the rationale that foreign visitors are going to be looking for it, aren't we crossing the WP:NOT#TRAVEL line, especially if it is not otherwise encyclopedic? On that side of Ueno Station, you're likely to be told to meet by 翼の像 anyway. Neier (talk) 23:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
