Touring Tokyo and a Journey through Japan-- these are two books I have written about my travels in Japan. Check these out!!! The Sakuradamon gate was completed in 1620. Unfortunately the gate sustained grave damage due in part to the Great Kanto Earthquake that transpired on September 1, 1923. Thus, the earthquake had a devastating impact upon Tokyo. Soon after this traumatic event, however, the gate was eventually repaired. Disclosure: This website may be compensated for l
