~ gate　城門　~

The entrance gate to the castle grounds of the former Kubota Castle in Akita City. Akita was ruled by the feudal Lord Satake and his family for about 270 years. The moat and zigzag stone stairways show that the castle was also used as a military facility in those days. Now, the place is called Senshu Park and is a place for relaxation to the citizens and a tourist attraction during the seasonal changes in the scenery.

After a little history of my city, pls. visit darren of Brisbane, Australia.
