Kuromon Gate, also known as the Black Gate, is a historic landmark in Akizuki, Asakura City. Originally the main gate of Akizuki Castle, it was relocated to its current location at the entrance to the Suiyo Shrine. The gate is known for its striking black color and is particularly beautiful during the autumn foliage season. Visitors can access it via a short bus ride from Amagi Station, followed by a 10-minute walk. The gate offers a glimpse into the region's rich history and provides a scenic spot for photography, especially when framed by the surrounding maple trees.
