The Yedo Hotel [Tokyo]. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
General view of the single-storey hotel building: 'The hotel is situated fronting the water, from which it is divided by a narrow slip of prettily laid out garden. It was originally intended by the Japanese government to prepare for the opening of Yedo [Tokyo] to foreigners, by building this large hostelrie, to which all might go and find ample accommodation.' It was, however, taken over by Japanese speculators, and although 'the proprietors engaged a foreigner as manager ... so tied his hands that he could do but little towards removing annoyances that visitors were exposed to ... The large building has a semi-deserted appearance, and so long as the Japanese proprietors interfere as they do with the foreign manager (who is everything that is obliging and thoroughly competent), they cannot hope for real success in their speculation.' (pp. 2-3).
