Enjoy a taste of Tokyo

18.05.12

I'm sure if it's the early morning earthquake or the headline in that day's edition of the Japan Times that surprises me most. There, top right on the front page, next to stories on the Fukushima nuclear crisis and March 11 tsunami, is "Chef's fugu licence axed after diner hospitalised". Below is the account of a diner recently poisoned by the famously toxic puffer fish liver at a two-star Michelin restaurant in the city's glamorous Ginza district. But back in the hotel restaurant, most of the talk around our table is of the 5.3 earthquake that shook us all awake. So far my first morning has combined elements of a disaster movie with an episode of The Simpsons. Welcome to Tokyo.

For three nights we stayed at the Imperial Hotel, famous for hosting the press conference at which Marilyn Monroe revealed to the world she wore only Chanel No 5 to bed. In other claims to fame, the hotel's second incarnation built in 1923 (the current version is the third to occupy this site) was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and in its 122 years, it has quite possibly hosted more world leaders and celebrities than any hotel anywhere. It overlooks the Imperial Palace, though this royal seat hides away behind moats, parklands, trees and massive stone walls. Only twice a year (January 2 and December 23, the Emperor's birthday), is the public able to enter the inner palace grounds in the hope of catching a rare glimpse of the royal family.
