This was the third gate of Shuri Castle and was also familiarly called Kagoise
Ujo. High officials entitled to ride in a palanquin would customarily dismount
here.
The gate is believed to have been built during the 15th century. Like Zuisenmon,
it does not feature a stone arch, but rather is a wooden turret gate. Above the
castle walls, a one-story structure is placed with a hip-gable roof thatched with
wood tiles.
