Yotsuya Okido 四谷大木戸 Big Gate at Yotsuya

Yotsuya Ōkido was the checkpoint established at Yotsuya in 1616 (the second year of Genna) to control those passing through
and packages going into and out of Edo via the Kōshū Highway.
In 1792 (the fourth year of Kansei), both the gate and the guardhouse were demolished,
so that people and horses could cross the checkpoint freely.
