This impressive gate was originally constructed during the late Edo period (pre-1868 Tokyo). It is typical of the architectural extravagance made by influential daimyo (feudal lord) families at the time. Being important military figures, the Ikedas of Inaba were such a family. The gate was originally found outside their Tokyo residence in Marunouchi and later moved to Takanawa. The gate has been at its current location since 1954.
