Sakura Square

Just basically a shopping plaza.

Drove by looking for another attraction, and it's just like people said; it's just a shopping plaza. Nothing much there unless you want to shop. It's not bad, just nothing exciting.

A signboard written as "Sakura"

Original Text

As I was walking downtown Denver in the snow, I found a sign with "Sakura" and hiragana. In the small square, there is a Japanese-style planting, a bust of Mr. Minoru Yasui, and a statue in a burial robe with a bead that cannot be read because the instructions are covered with snow. I could easily imagine it was a place related to Japanese people. It was fresh to notice that there was a Japanese-related facility in Denver.

if you're Japanese

Original Text

Along with the leader of Japanese immigrants in the 1930s and the founder of Buddhist temples, Japanese immigrants from Japan to California in the 1930s accepted them as citizens just before being sent to a concentration camp. A statue of Mayor Number stands. The explanation is also substantial. There are Buddhist temples and karate dojo, culture centers, Asian food shops, hostels, etc.
