Description The large yaguramon gate on the left is the To-no-ichi Gate. The gate on the right is the Chi Gate and the yagura next to it is the Orimawari Yagura. Note that the To-no-ichi gate is not covered in plaster but is bare wood. It is said that this is the oldest gate in the castle and was moved here from the nearby Okishio Castle during Hideyoshi's time.
