Ichijodani Castle - Shimokido

下木戸

The Shimokido closes off the northern end of the valley at the narrowest point where it is only 80 meters across. This is the main entrance to the city and near the trade routes. The high embankment prevents you from seeing inside the castle town. The gate itself is an imposing doglegged stone lined entrance with some of the large stones weighing 40 tons.
