SANNO SHRINE

Sanno Shrine is famous for its stone torii that only has one leg, with the other being blown off in the nuclear blast.

The Sannō Shrine (山王神社 ,Sannō Jinja), located about 900 metres south-east of the atomic bomb hypocentre in Nagasaki, Japan, is noted for its one-legged stone torii. One of the legs of the stone gate was slapped down by the ferocious blast wind of the atomic bomb explosion.
