The Maharaja Palace was a notorious guest house in Tokyo in the 1990s, occupied mainly by trance party lovers, who had an ambiguous, to say the least, relationship with the almost absentee management. This is a parody of the Maharaja Palace Rules which I wrote and distributed to all the rooms in the middle of one dark and potentially stormy night.

Hello Chris, coincidentally I found your blog.... I am Beatrice, the "almost absent management" of the Maharaja-Palace (now Teacher's Lodge) I was really laughing when I read your blog.
If you have time, would you like to attend our Summer Beach Event August 8th. to 10th. in Shirahama, Boso Peninsula together with the next generation tenants?
Would be great. I wanted to attach you the the invitation but it seems that it is not possible to attach jpg or pdf.
If you give me your mail address I will send it to you or I will try it on fb
regards
Beatrice
I lived in the Teacher's Lodge for a couple of months in the Fall of 1995. People still referred to it as the "Maharaja-Palace," which I assumed at the time was some sort of inside joke about the place's general shabbiness.
I recall murmurs about some past incident involving a monkey.
What a peculiar place that was.
I stayed there in 1990-1 and had a great and very strange time for a year. It was definitely a drama filled place.
I was a teacher and actor and made the money while living there which I eventually used to move to Hawaii where I live now.
I will be in Tokyo for a couple of days in September. Does anyone have the address so I can make a sentimental trip back?
Also any recommendations for a cool hostel in Tokyo.
Thank you,
Mojo
