Okazakijō Relocated Gates: the Red Gate (Higashi-Achiwa, Okazaki, Aichi) 　岡崎城移築城門：謁播神社念佛堂赤門 ［愛知県岡崎市東阿知和町］

The Nenbutsudō Akamon (Nenbutsu hall red gate (念佛堂赤門)) at Atsuwa Shrine (謁播神社) in Higashi-Achiwa Township (東阿知和町), Okazaki Municipality, is said to be a gate originally from Okazaki Castle.

Okazakijō Yakuimon / Shukuenji (Nishi-Azai, Okazaki, Aichi) 　岡崎城移築薬医門・宿緑寺 ［愛知県岡崎市西浅井町］

This Yakui-style gate at Shukuenji in Nishi-Azai Township, Okazaki Municipality, was originally part of the north gate complex of Okazaki Castle's second bailey. The gate, which now serves as the temple's sanmon (main gate), is thought to date to the early 17th century, and was relocated to its present location in 1873.

Gate Relcoated to the Site of Kajiya Castle (Kajiya, Okazaki, Aichi) 　鍛冶屋城跡に移築された岡崎城門 ［愛知県岡崎市鍛治屋町］

Kajiyajō is now also the site of an extant castle building, a small gatehouse which was relocated here from the north bailey of Okazakijō in 1873. This red gate now stands against what looks to be a workshop.

The Lost Drum Tower of Okazaki Castle (Shimoaono, Okazaki, Aichi)　岡崎城移築太鼓楼 ［愛知県岡崎市下青野町］

There's a rumour going around that a relocated drum turret from Okazaki Castle can be found at Jikōji, a temple in Shimoaono Township in Okazaki Municipality, where it is currently used as a boy scout hut. It is listed on various castling blogs. However, details, such as construction date, are scant, and it seems the authenticity of the structure's origins has yet to be confirmed.
