A few days ago, note that Sapporo clock tower was one of the three great disappointments of Japan. Following this post, many people wondered what were the other two disappointments. Now come the answers.

In the wikipedia had an article which was written the three major disappointments in Japan, but someone delete this piece of paper, so that in the original article no longer appears, but if we look at the historical changes of this article we can read when they were the Japan's three major disappointments in this article.

The three great disappointments of Japan are in this order:

1 - Shurei Gate: A gate in the Shuri neighborhood of Naha (Okinawa's capital city). It is the second door of Shuri Castle, and was built in the XVIth century.
The gate reflects major influences and measures China is its highest point 7.94 meters.

The gate was destroyed during the Second World War and was rebuilt between 1950 and 1960, making it the first part of the castle was rebuilt.

2 - Hariyama Bridge: A wooden bridge of 20 meters located at Kochi (capital of Kochi Prefecture him).
The bridge was built in the Edo era to cross between two department stores and Hitsuya Harimaya calls that were separated by a kind of moat. From there Harimaya name.

The bridge is well known for appearing in Kochi a traditional song which tells the love story between a monk of the temple Chikurin and a woman named Ouma. The monk gave to his beloved a Kanzashi (hair ornament) near this bridge. Word spread the love between the monk and Ouma, so that they ran away together to another city, but eventually were found and separated.

Thanks to this love story, the bridge is a meeting point for many couples in love couple.

3 - Sapporo Clock Tower which you already speak some days ago.

Not just because they called the great disappointments of Japan, but I guess like the Sapporo Clock Tower, tourists are disappointed with these monuments to be smaller than they expect.
