Tokyo introduction

This place was a government rice warehouse built in 1734.
Before this rice warehouse was built, there were riots due to the soaring price of rice.
It seems that the politics of that time was also very difficult.

As a matter of fact, I have never been in one yet. (^_^)

On the day of the visit, I passed by and took some pictures.
I think there are materials from the old days when Tokyo was called Edo.
I'll report back when I go to see inside.

The flowers covering the slope symbolize life. Inside the monument is the Tokyo Air Raid Victims List, which records the names of those who were killed in the air raids.

By the time I realized it, it was almost over.
You can see old advertisements from Japan
Even if you look at them now, the designs are really cool.

This monument is a memorial to the Koreans who lost their lives in the confusion of the Great Kanto Earthquake due to misguided plans and false rumors.
