This was a surprise discovery in Hagi of all places! Actually I'm not even sure if I should call this a Jurakudai Gate or a Hagi Castle gate.

The Uramon (裏門) of Jurakudai was gifted to Mori Terumoto by Toyotomi Hideyoshi for his residence in Fushimi. After being "banished" to Hagi by Ieyasu, Mori took the gate with him and placed it in Hagi Castle. While Hagi Castle was being built, Mori lived at Jonenji Temple and eventually gifted the gate to the temple. The gate is a national important cultural property.
