Effects of the Great Kanto Earthquake in Japanese History

The Great Kanto Earthquake, also known as the Tokyo - Yokohama earthquake in 1923, hit the Kanto metropolitan area around 11:58 pm on September 1, 1923. This is the ninth level of the Richter scale, more than 140,000 people die due to its height and occurrence time. The earthquake occurred at lunch time when many Japanese cooked at home with charcoal or gas stove. At the moment of the earthquake, it overturned the building of flames that fell into the stove and made the city furious.

On September 1, 1923, cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama in the Kanto Plain in southern Honshu were destroyed by the Great Kanto Earthquake. When an earthquake occurred during the lunch break, people used stove in Tokyo's wooden building. A fire broke, the street apron melted, 38,000 people died in the center of Tokyo in the snowstorm. Like San Francisco, in order to destroy the earthquake, you can not access the water necessary to calm the fire. A total of 33 million square meters of the city has been abandoned. After the destruction, there are plans to build a new big city with more greenery, more parks, and wider paths between buildings. Only the budget provided was smaller and smaller, and the new Tokyo was rebuilt into a more calm plan.

Following the massive destruction of the Kanto Earthquake in 1923, the Scottish Marshall Martin used his role as an advisor to the mayor to force the government to turn the former waterfront into a park. Yamashita Park was born in the ruins of the earthquake and officially opened on March 15, 1930. This space was temporarily used as a military housing under the occupation after 1945, but in 1960 he restored the rule of Japan. Yamashita Park is the perfect place to relax while drinking books and craft beers on weekends. Also, the area will not be full of couples and families. In addition to another beauty of Minatomirai's skyline, there are many interesting attractions in this space. My favorite things are as follows.
