Chokushimon

The Chokushimon—the gate used specifically for the passage of the emperor or his official messengers—leads into the South Gardens. While rarely opened, this is a gate for the entrance and departure of the emperor’s retinue or his messengers. The original gate burned down in 1887, and the present gate was erected in 1913 according to a design done by renowned Kyoto architect Kameoka Suekichi (1865–1922).

Both Japanese- and Chinese-style elements are in evidence, such as cypress-bark roofing and gables in the Tang-dynasty style that form part of the lower structure of the four-pillared gate. The gables are adorned with highly decorative openwork and relief carvings incorporating the design motif of phoenix tail feathers—the symbol of resurrection and renewal—and a peony vining motif. Though the gate is intended only for use during imperial visits, it is also opened each October during a ritual procession from nearby Fukuoji Shrine.

敕使門

敕使門是南庭入口，然而由於僅對天皇及其信使開放，大多時間皆大門深鎖。原門於1887年因祝融之災而付之一炬，後經京都名匠龜岡末吉（1865-1922）設計，目前的新門於1913年落成。

此門混合日本及中國元素，其屋頂為「檜皮葺」（以檜木樹皮鋪設的屋頂）設計，四腳門下方則是唐朝博風板（唐破風）式樣，獨具特色。博風板中刻有以大自然為主題的華美鏤空及浮雕，搭配鳳凰（象徵復活與重生的生物）尾羽與唐草紋牡丹圖案。敕使門雖專為皇室來訪而建，但每年10月，附近福王子神社的祭典列隊亦會通過此門。
