Sanno Shrine one-legged Torii Gate

Sanno Shrine one-legged Torii Gate is a unique historical monument in Nagasaki, a symbol of survival and resilience. This distinctive torii gate has been standing on one leg since the atomic bomb blast in 1945, when the shock wave destroyed one of its supports.

This remarkable site allows you to immerse yourself in Japanese history and see a tangible trace of the tragic events that shaped modern Nagasaki. The gate is a moving monument to the power of human nature and Japanese culture to rise from the ashes.
