Ôtemon means 'main gate'. The main gate of the third bailey of Kanbe Castle was relocated to Keishōji, a temple in the Nishi-Hino neighbourhood of urban Yokkaichi Municipality. An old drawing shows this gate with a bridge spanning a moat leading to it, and connected by a parapet wall to a corner turret. The ôtemon was orientated to the north of the bailey.
