Fushimi Castle - Eishunji

栄春寺

The Sanmon Gate of Eishunji was relocated from Fushimi Castle. Perhaps even more interesting than the gate is that the only fully extant portion of the Fushimi Castle sogamae walls can be found here too. The width, height and depth of the walls at this point are nearly untouched. The top of the wall was a graveyard for the temple, possibly saving it from further destruction. This section of wall has been examined several times over the years and they have found tiles, statues and other works from the period. Around this section of wall were the residences of many high ranking samurai from around Japan.
