Hello IETF 94 Companions,  

In less than a month we'll be in Yokohama, Japan! The Yokohama meeting venue is the Pacifico Yokohama (1-1-1 Minato Mirai, Nishi-ku, Yokohama, Japan) attached to the InterContinental Yokohama Grand (1-1 Minato Mirai, Mishi-Ku, Yokohama, Japan).

The nearest metro stop is the Minato Mirai Station (Minato Mirai Line), go out the "Queen's Square" exit. 

The Companions will have the traditional IETF Companions Reception on Sunday November 1, 2015  4:30pm-5:30pm (local time) in the InterContinential Yokohama Grand hotel.  The reception is scheduled to be in the May Fair room on the 30th level of the hotel, which I am told has amazing views. 

After the Companions Reception, you are welcome to join the IETF 94 Welcome Reception (which is scheduled to go from 5:00pm-7:00pm local time) in the InterContinental Yokohama Grand's InterContinental Ballroom on the 3rd level of the hotel.
