Description: Greetings and Salutations! Welcome to our store. We upload listings often!! Collectible Original Vintage Photo - WW2, Historical Aso Kanko Hotel, Post Japan Defeat (1946) Era: 1946 Story: “The Aso Kanko Hotel was opened in July of 1939, in Kumamoto, at the foot of volcanic Mt. Aso, built with government funds. It made quite a splash those days as it was designed to be a Western style hotel with several features very unusual in Japan at that time, like a revolving door, flushing toilets, a Western style bath and a big dining room with a bar. After World War II ended, the Aso Kanko Hotel, much like the gorgeous Maya Tourist Hotel, in Kobe, was used by the American forces for rest and recuperation.“When the American military occupiers left, the Aso Kanko Hotel was taken over and renovated by a predecessor company of today’s Kyushu Industrial Transportation Holdings Co., Ltd. – a move that lured one of the most controversial people in Japanese history to visit the hotel: Emperor Hirohito, who apparently liked it so much that he came back twice in the following years, making the hotel one of the most famous ones in all of Japan.
