Yokoamichō Park, Memorial park in Sumida district, Tokyo, Japan.
The park spreads across 195,780 square meters of land, featuring a Japanese garden with koi ponds, traditional lanterns, and seasonal cherry and ginkgo trees.
The land transformed from a military depot into a public park in 1922, later becoming a refuge during the Great Kanto earthquake of 1923.
The Memorial Hall exhibits paintings, photographs, and artifacts that document the Great Kanto earthquake and World War II events in Tokyo.
Visitors can explore two floors of exhibits, with the ground level focusing on the earthquake and the upper floor covering World War II history.
The park contains the remains of 163,000 individuals who perished in both the 1923 earthquake firestorm and the 1944-1945 Tokyo air raids.
