In this "Virtual Office Hours," you can ask Mr. Shimura questions at any time you like. He will answer your questions within a few days. The email, however, must be written in English, and it has to be carefully written before you send it to him. Also, since Mr. Shimura has some 110 students in three English Seminars, do not forget to write who you are and which English Seminar you belong to at the end of your email (e.g., Michael Jordan, English Seminar, Monday-2 Class).
By the way, do you know how to write emails in English? If not, look at this homepage.
