Fushimi Castle - Tenryuji

Fushimi Castle - Tenryuji

天龍寺

The Chokushimon Gate of Tenryuji was constructed around 1613 at Fushimi Castle as the Daidokoro Gate and was moved to Tenryuji in 1641. It is a well travelled gate. It was actually moved to Tenryuuji once earlier, moved to the Imperial Palace (Gosho) and then moved back in 1641. This is why you may see conflicting reports that it was moved from the Imperial Palace, not Fushimi Castle. The gate prominently shows many features of Momoyama Period architecture and is the oldest structure at Tenryuji. Unfortunately, it is not in a good location. It is in the middle of a parking lot, so most people will probably just walk by without giving it much thought.
