State Guest House Akasaka Palace
Cultural landmark
😐 Akasaka Palace is not ready for overseas tourists. The rules. So many rules. Stand here, not there. Hold your drink bottle, but don't drink it. No trash cans (TBF, that's true of most of Japan). No bathrooms. No photos. Cash only, or you have to go to a service counter. And that's just the security...

Onarimon Gate
Historical landmark
👍👍 (Recorded 210525) A line that is often heard in historical dramas as "The Lord's Onari". This gate was given this name because it was the gate used by the Tokugawa Shogun when he visited Zojoji Temple. Nowadays, it is a venerable gate that is also the name of a place and a subway station.

Toranomon Monument
Historical landmark
👍 I think it's probably a monument to the fact that Toranomon was here.
(According to an article on the internet, when the town's name was changed to Toranomon, they built a monument to Edo Castle Toranomon, from which the place's name was derived.)
Due to the lack of knowledge and the inscriptions be...

Ruins of Takanawa Ōkido Gate
Historical landmark
👍 It is said that Takanawa Okido served as an entrance to Edo prefecture and as a "gate" for maintaining public order.
It is said that there was an Okido in Yotsuya, but the original form is no longer preserved, so the Takanawa Okido in Takanawa can be said to be a valuable historical heritage.
When...
