It's only a partial reconstruction of the old Imperial Hotel -- the front entrance and a portion of the lobby, as I recall. But it's better than nothing, I suppose. Meiji Mura is an outdoor museum and there are a bunch of other historical buildings that have been moved there from various places in Japan. It's certainly worth a visit if the weather's nice. http://www.meijimura.com/english/index.html -- _______________________________________________________________ Scott Reynolds scottreyn@gmail.com
