Chitose Gomon, Wooden gate at Toyama Castle, Japan.

The Chitose Gomon stands as a traditional wooden gate structure measuring approximately 10 meters in height at the entrance of Toyama Castle grounds.

Commissioned by Maeda Toshiyasu in 1849, the gate served as the main entrance to Chitose Goten residence until its relocation to the castle park in 2012.

The gate exemplifies Japanese architectural design from the Edo period through its wooden construction methods and traditional carpentry techniques.

Located within a 10-minute walk from JR Toyama Station, visitors can access the gate during park hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM throughout the year.

Built using Chamaecyparis obtusa wood, the gate maintains its original structural integrity despite being moved from its initial location during the Meiji period.
