Mikazuki Han-no-Inojinya Front Gate
During the Edo Period (1603-1867), this "Omote-mon" was the largest gate in the residential area of the Mikazuki Domain. It is said that 300 homes once stood here. Within the enclosure, which was divided by various gates, walls, and moats, the Omote-mon gate had an important role in dividing the central street. The gate was dismantled with the abolition of feudal domains in the Meiji Period (1868-1912) and used as the gate of a temple in Tatsuno City, before it was restored to its original location in 2017. It is a valuable architectural structure of the Mikazuki clan and is designated as a cultural asset by the town.
