Pictures of two Japanese gates that survived two separate catastrophic events in history are being falsely claimed online to be the same. The caption asks: “What the hell is that arch made of?”However, the pictures were taken in separate locations and show two different arches. Nagasaki is situated in southwest Japan, whereas Otsuchi is more than 1,760 km away via car towards the country’s northwest (shorturl.at/gkDY4). The gates are different and survived two separate Japanese disasters. This article was produced by the Reuters Fact Check team.
