Description Ho Gate. It is an uzumimon style gate. The entrance is lower than the ground level of the Obi Kuruwa bailey on the opposite side. If necessary, the doors could be closed and backfilled with dirt or stone to keep enemies from entering the castle. You can see this more easily in the next picture. It is the Gate to the right of the Aburakabe. You'll also note that this gate is very narrow with a low clearance to make people enter single file and to lower their heads to get through.
