Description This uzumimon style gate (buried gate) leads right into the daidokoro (kitchen) yagura. The main keep bailey is solid rock so it was not possible to build a well there. This gate leads to a well, but it could also be filled with rock and earth in the event of an attack to completely seal it from the outside.
Short Description Uzumimon Gate (buried gate)
Description in Japanese 埋門。天守曲輪は岩盤なので井戸を設けることができませんでした。この埋門を通して、井戸へ簡単に行けました。戦時には内部から土砂を入れ、外から侵入できないようになっています。
