#Japan #Hotel #Haikyo Kobe Japan The Maya Hotel a Haikyo.
Built in 1929 the Maya Hotel is a fantastic example of Japans pre World War II craze for Western Art Deco architecture But despite the hotels extravagance and style it was later put toward a more practical wartime purpose During the war the hotels roof was loaded up with anti aircraft guns and used to defend Kobe The city like Osaka and Tokyo was heavily bombed and mostly destroyed The hotel as a converted military target was damaged in the raids After the war the city sold the hotel to a private owner The hotel was repaired and reopened for business in 1961 However in 1967 a typhoon and mudslide greatly damaged the building once more and its doors were shuttered again The hotel got one last chance in 1974 when it was repaired again and reborn as the Maya Student Center It never took off as a student center though It was rarely used and the final nail in the coffin came in 1995 when the Great Awaji Earthquake which killed more than 6000 people badly damaged the grand old building once more The hotel was sealed up and the hiking trails leading to it fell into disuse However a beautiful building with such a tumultuous history wouldnt stay forgotten for long The Maya Hotel is now one of Japans most iconic haikyo abandoned place It has been used as a filming location for various music videos and TV episodes One of which in fact brought in an authentic B 29 Superfortress tire for a war scene and left it there The tire can still be found today
