Research Abstract	In this study, the outergates of the Royal palaceand thearea called "Tsuiji-no-uchi"inside the gates on pre-modern are considered. There were nine the outer gates of the Royal palace in 1708.As the six gates had been built before 1643 and the another three had been added before 1708, the area had been expanded down south. The areawas recognisedas the sacred place. Accordingly, the Bakufu shared thecost with the fences and the gates in order to landscape it. It was possible that before 1643 the area around the palace had been identified as the "Jinchu" which had been conceptualised since the medieval period.
