Very interesting about the Japanese 'intrigue' at the Miyako Hotel. They certainly didn't waste any time renaming it the Civic Hotel.



below: I found this the other day. It looks like the name was changed back to the Miyako Hotel after the war.




The caption says the New Ginza Theater is next door to the Miyako, but to me it looks like it's in the same building.
Is it possible (well, of course it's possible) to add a theater to an already existing hotel? It seems to me that you would have to gut a good portion of the structure.
