Thats a load of crap. Although many cities were bombed, tokyo is really the only city that can be said to have been "burned down", having 56 percent of the city devastated. (unless, of course, you count hiroshima and nagasaki) Japanese tell you every city was bombed just so they can justify there stupid pseudo-american antics. No one said you had to rebuild a burnt down sushi restaurant with a french cafe.
