During the Edo period, a bridge currently leading from Kitanomaru Park to this gate on the north side of the Tokyo Imperial Palace used to be a drawbridge. Subsequently, it gave the name to the Kitahanebashimon (literally "Northern Drawbridge Gate") which forms part of the enceinte surrounding the inner part of the castle – Honmaru.

The gate is constructed as a Masugata (square gate) and has a double-storied gateway. It consists of two parts, both of which are single-section. The first, outer part of the gate, is dark gray with one canopy. The second, internal one, has three canopies, two of which have a decorative function. Back in the day, the gate's second level was used by defenders of the fortress.
