The American firebombing of Mar. 10 1945 alone killed 80 000 to 100 000 people. The Meiji shrine (still the most popular in Japan) which was dedicated to Emperor Meiji and his consort was badly damaged but has been restored. Left entirely intact were the imperial palace grounds and the surrounding area where the embassies the diet building and the newest office buildings stand; this area is the administrative center of the city.
