Detailed Travel Guide for Wakamiya Oji Street
Wakamiya-Oji was build in 1182 by Yoritomo Minamoto. Its design was the same way of Suzaku-Oji in Kyoto, and built as the center of city and its development. There are three Tori Gates, and the Sando and those Tori Gates are using perspective technique so that it looks much longer than it is.
