The Kazusa-Otaki Castle Yakuimon Gate is the only remaining structure of Otaki Castle, originally serving as the gate to the inner palace. Located on the grounds of Otaki High School, about a 10-minute walk from Otaki Station, this historic gate offers a glimpse into the castle's past. Visitors can freely explore the gate within the school premises, keeping in mind that it is an active school environment. While modest in size, it's a valuable piece of local history and a unique sight to see within a high school setting. Combine your visit with a trip to the nearby well, said to have been dug by Honda Tadakatsu.
