Certified NPO Sanyukai. Life consultation is also available Mon–Fri 10:00–15:00 (office: 2-32-8 Kiyokawa, Taito City). They also run a free clinic, a meal service (cafeteria), housing support, and emergency temporary accommodation, according to the official site. Phone reception is on weekdays 10:00–16:30. Email: info@sanyukai.or.jp The meal service is every Thursday (official activity page). "From 14:00" comes from the Big Issue Japan guide (the official site says they travel to the meal site by car at 14:00). On Wednesdays they do outreach visits to people living in tents by the river; that is not a meal service.
