Incredibly moving shrine. The trees are beautiful and their existence is powerful and a testament to nature’s ability to survive even the worst humanity can offer. The one legged torii gate is a visceral symbol of the legacy of the atomic bomb. Highly recommend a visit for anyone interested in the a-bomb history because you truly feel things that the museum couldn’t necessarily showcase. 4 stars just because there was no one working at the shop to get goshuin or omamori, and we were really hoping to do that, no clear signs or anything about when they are open. They looked beautiful!

Sanno Shrine's one-legged Torii Gate is a deeply moving and historical site that left a strong impression on me. This torii, partially destroyed by the atomic bomb in 1945, stands resiliently on one leg, symbolizing both destruction and survival. It serves as a powerful reminder of history and the resilience of Nagasaki. The surrounding area is peaceful, and it’s humbling to stand near this enduring structure. If you’re visiting Nagasaki, this site offers a profound and unique experience that honors both the past and the strength of the human spirit.

this one leg torii is still standing after survive the atomic blast in 1945. the other leg and the other parts of the leg has broken and put nearby. currently the torii leg is not too eye catching since the area surrounding it is already full of houses but i have seen the photo that shows how it stand alone whilst all the other buildings were flat to the ground. so it's quite a miracle for the leg itself.

The one-legged Torii Gate at Sanno Shrine in Nagasaki is a poignant symbol of resilience and hope. Heavily damaged by the atomic bomb on August 9, 1945, the gate now stands on a single pillar. Despite this, it has been preserved as a testament to the tragedy and the enduring spirit of peace in Nagasaki.

Sometimes you’ll see water bottles left at the foot of the torii gate as an offering. This is because many of the victims of the blast that morning were begging for a drink of water. Interesting to be able to see one of the few physical memorials that’s still where it was from the morning of the blast.

A short walk nearby atomic bomb museum, this is a place worth visiting. You can also see the other half laying on the floor right above the stairs. There’s a calm feeling here, and people put bottled waters at the leg of the torii calming for all the victims in bomb.
