Tokyo Reconstruction Memorial Hall
I find this the most honest civic memorial in Tokyo. It doesn't explain away either disaster. It holds both.
Memorial to the 100,000 people killed in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. The building originally stored their ashes. Expanded to include the 1945 firebombing dead. Two disasters, one building.
