御殿 (J: goten)

  • The Japanese word goten is a general word for "palace" and can refer to any number of residential or other buildings within a larger compound, typically a castle. Most castles would have had at least a honmaru goten (central bailey palace), if not a ninomaru goten (second bailey castle). For information on these "palaces," see the respective articles for individual castles.
