Kichijoji store
Go to Kichijoji Station, exit via Park Exit, walk out the station exit and straight ahead. Yuzawaya is on the 7th and 8th floor of Marui Kichijoji store (head for the store with the big OIOI on it). It is no longer in the station building (which I found out by wandering around for ages). Click on this link to see a picture of the logo.
