Kubota Castle Front Gate – Otemon

#asiabudgetchallenge Kubota Castle Front Gate – Otemon, thoughtfully reconstructed in 2001, marks the majestic entrance to Kubota Castle’s main enclosure in Senshū Park. Built from ancient zelkova and cypress timbers, this two-story, tile-roofed gate—based on archaeological evidence and historical drawings—stands as a testament to the Satake clan’s legacy during the Edo era. Rough Budget: Free to visit as part of Senshū Park; optional museum admissions (Turret/Museum: ¥100–¥150). Travel Tip: Stop by at sunrise or sunset—natural light accentuates the gate’s textures beautifully and fewer visitors make for tranquil photos.
