It must have been quite a powerful emotion to pierce the strong Japanese sensibility of politeness. Navigating Tokyo streets can be daunting. There is no uniformity to the layout with streets twisting and turning and multiple road interesections. Maps are largely useless, and street signs don't help much either. Addresses for buildings are based on when the building was built, not where it is on the block.
Most people find their way around by landmarks.
Head up the hill to the second fork in the road and make a left. Take the second left after the Daiwa Bank. We are in the 3rd building on the right, on the 5th floor. And when you don't have directions like these, you might have to ask passers-by. Like many others with no Japanese language skills, I would ask someone directions in phrasebook Japanese.
