Kuromon, Nagayamon gate at Tokyo National Museum, Japan
The Kuromon features a large hipped-gable roof structure with smaller karahafu roofs covering guards' chambers on both sides.
Built during the late Edo period, the gate originally stood at the Ikeda clan mansion in Marunouchi before its relocation to Tokyo National Museum in 1954.
The gate represents one of only two remaining daimyo mansion gates from the Edo period in Tokyo, displaying traditional Japanese architectural elements.
The gate opens to pedestrians on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays between 10 AM and 4 PM within the Tokyo National Museum grounds.
The structure earned its name Kuromon, meaning Black Gate, from the dark wood used in its construction during the late 18th century.
