    Tottori Saihaku-gun Daisencho Daisen 1
    "This historic structure is located in Daisen, Daisen Town, Saihaku County, Tottori Prefecture. Originally donated to serve as the front gate of the Daisen-ji Temple's Nishirakuin head priest's quarters in 1857, after the Nishirakuin was closed, the gate was moved here to be the Shinmon Gate of Ogamiyama-jinja Shrine's Okumiya. Because the gate's front and back are opposite of what they should be, it is also known as the ""reverse gate."""
