Our new interior for the Tokyo office.

Hi I’m Chiba, I joined Istpika just as it moved Tokyo offices.
Corporate planning secretary, application development, recruitment and general office work – I have been lucky to be able to experience all of these and now bring my talents to Istpika. I look forward to doing business with you!

Today, at last – our office interior was finished. Here are a few photos.

Our Tokyo Office moved from Shibuya to Shinjuku. It’s been 2 weeks already!
We’re very close from the station in 3 cho me Shinjuku, really handy.
From the office windows overlook the Ysukuni big gaurd.
