Whether it be bobbing up and down like a boat.

Or going down like the Titanic.

The Queen Elizabeth love hotel is definitely the place to dock.

Or plunge an anchor even.

Plus it’s also where there are seamen gags aplenty, so to speak.
Tokyo Times is owned and run by me, Lee Chapman, a long-term resident of Tokyo who arrived in 1998 for ‘a year or two’, and, for a myriad of reasons, stayed put.
Japan means many things to many people, but Tokyo Times is how I see it. The places. The people. The day-to-day situations. All of it shot using a Leica, a Nikon and a selection of lenses.
My photographs have appeared in the Guardian and Japan Times, plus numerous magazines and books. Should you wish to use any, or simply ask a question, you can get in touch with me here.

Haha! Great find!
That’s the most tragic thing I’ve seen since, err… Titanic.
Where. Is. That!
It’s in Kanagawa John. Not far out of Tokyo.
That’s hilarious. The Titanic scene but on the Queen Elizabeth. Do they really need the arrow on the sign next to the hotel pointing to where it is? Kinda hard to miss that big boat.
No, they probably don’t, although there are two hotels on either side of it, so I guess it’s possible that they could, ahem, slip into the wrong entrance.
Nice pun. Yikes…
Nice puns. That hotel is just up the road from me, looks like it has had a new coat of paint since I last saw it, but, did used to look so like a crack house with it’s pink and purple. Nice shots too. Damon
Thanks Damon! I’ve passed it so many times in the past whilst on the Tomei, that I had to stop off and get some pics. I think the refurb must have included Jack and Rose too, as on Google street view they aren’t there.
Wow! Just wow!!
First time I saw that, it was at the tail-end of an overnight drive back from Nagoya. I desperately hoped I wasn’t hallucinating.
Holy shite! That is insane. ….. yet I would pay half the bill if you could sneak your camera inside that joint. ….psssst, undercover of course.
