UNU is situated between Omotesando and Shibuya subway stations. It is a big, pyramid shaped granite building, between the Oval Building and the Children's Castle Building (Kodomo-no-shiro) and opposite to the Aoyama Gakuin (Aoyama University).

From the Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel and the Shibuya Excel Hotel Tokyu, UNU is about a ten-minute walk. You will pass through quite a busy (with people) intersection, if you get confused about your direction, look for a street sign that mentions "Children's Castle", "Aoyama Hospital", or "Aoyama Dori".

When you walk out of the front entrance of the Shibuya Excel Hotel Tokyu, pass by to the left of Shibuya station, walk straight until you get to Aoyama Dori, turn left onto it.

From the front entrance of the Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel, walk straight ahead until you see a bridge. Use the bridge to cross to the left side of the street, walk straight ahead until you get to the Aoyama Dori or route 246. UNU is approximately 300 meters down the road on the left side. If you would prefer not to walk, a taxi to UNU would cost around 660 YEN.

From the Hotel Okura Tokyo, the hotel is about 10 minutes ride (5 stops) by subway from Toranomon Station on Ginza line to the nearest subway station to the UNU Headquarters, Omotesando. Several subway lines stop at Omotesando station. From all the other hotels, take Ginza line or Hanzomon Line to Omotesando station. Take Exit B2 and when you come out of the station, keep walking straight ahead towards the direction to Shibuya. You will walk past a Kentucky Fried Chicken and Kinokuniya Supermarket. UNU will be on your right, about 250 meters from Omotesando station.
