Tokiwa Hashikado is one of the outer gates of Edo Castle and was built in 1629 (Kanei 6). Because it leads to the Otemon gate of Edo Castle main gate, it leads to Oshu Dochu or Nikko Dochu via Asakusa, so it is also called Asakusaguchi, and it is also called Tayasumon (Joshuguchi), Kanda Hashikado (Shibasakiguchi), Hanzomon (Koshuguchi) and Soto Sakuradamon (Oda Haraguchi).

It seems that it was a Masugata gate composed of Ichinomon (Koryomon) and Ninomon (Watatoguramon), and the stone wall of the cut-off (how to stack the shaped stones in close contact) is reminiscent of the time.

In 1710 (Hoei 7), Edo shogunate built the Edo Castle Shibakuchi Gomon on the occasion of the Korean correspondent's visit to Japan to show off its dignity. It is said to be due to the invention of Arai Shiraishi. Since it was burned down in 1724 (Kyoho 9), it has not been rebuilt and the stone wall has been removed.

The appearance of Shibakuchi Gomon in the past is depicted on the copper plate of the monument built at the site of the gate, and like Joban Hashikado, it seems that it was a Masugata gate composed of Ichinomon (Koryomon) and Ninomon (Wataguramon). .

Tokiwa Hashikado and Shibakuchi Gomon-I think both gates were very spectacular. It's a bit disappointing that I can't see the real thing.
