I will go through the spreadsheet and where there are house numbers listed
I'll delete the numbers, if that might make some feel more secure.
Please shoot me an email if you wish to be deleted from the map or to

appear on the map.

As you may have read in Will K's musings on Tokyo, it is a wonderful city
in which to ride a bicycle.
Enjoy! John
