J-Drama Pilgrimage | 問題のあるレストラン Mondai no Aru Restaurant (2015) — 東京国際交流館 / Yumi’s Episode-4 Job Interview

Drama: Fuji TV『問題のあるレストラン』 / Mondai no Aru Restaurant (2015). Episode 4 aired on 5 February 2015. Fuji TV’s official synopsis says 新田結実 / Yumi Nitta is still job-hunting even while helping Bistro Fou, a tension that defines her early place in the group. The Nationwide Filming Location Guide identifies 東京国際交流館 / Tokyo International Exchange Center in Aomi as the building where Yumi attends an interview in this episode. The location gives pilgrims a concrete setting for Yumi’s attempt to maintain a conventional career path while the women around her are trying to make the rooftop restaurant work. It is therefore a stronger story location than a generic street insert: the scene belongs directly to her uncertainty over whether she can—or wants to—fit into the kind of workplace she had been trained to pursue. The Tokyo International Exchange Center remains an operating JASSO facility at 2-2-1 Aomi, Koto-ku. JASSO’s current 2026 information continues to list public international-exchange events there. The stored pin, 35.6206988, 139.7756787, is a facility-level point for the Tokyo International Exchange Center complex. It is not claimed as Yumi’s exact interview room, entrance, chair, or camera position. Pilgrimage note: this is an active residence, research-exchange and event complex rather than a drama set. Use publicly accessible exterior/event areas only and respect any access controls for residential or institutional spaces.
