The “Online study tour of Akamon” recorded on 30th March, 2021 is now available on Youtube and Todai TV.
The red gate (Aakamon, in Japanese) of the University of Tokyo has been closed, due to the diagnosis of insufficient seismic performance. During the course of securing the structural safety, we planned a study tour of the gate for the members of the University to see the places which is normally closed. The video is now available for public viewing through the below.
