TOKYO ARCHITECTURE
Tokyo Architecture -
Photos, descriptions and locations of the top examples of Tokyo
Architecture including modern Tokyo Architecture.
Tokyo features many
examples of modern architecture from Japanese and international
architects. The Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 combined with the
fire bombing of World War II have meant that there are very examples
of old Tokyo architecture. However some temples and shrines were
rebuilt and some more recent buildings survived the fire bombing.
