史跡 高輪大木戸跡
港区高輪2-19
高輪大木戸は、江戸時代中期の宝永７年（１７１０）に芝口門に建てられたのが起源である。享保９年（１７２４）に現在地に移された。現在地の築造年には宝永７年説・寛政４年（１７９２）など諸説ある。
江戸の南の入口として、道幅約６間（約１０メートル）の旧東海道の両側に石垣を築き夜は閉めて通行止めとし、治安の維持と交通規制の機能を持っていた。
天保２年（１８３１）には、札の辻（現在の港区芝５-２９-１６）から高札場も移された。この高札場は、日本橋南詰・常盤橋外・浅草橋内・筋違橋内・半蔵門外とともに江戸の６大高札場の一つであった。
京登り、東下り、伊勢参りの旅人の送迎もここで行われ、付近に茶屋などもあって、当時は品川宿にいたる海岸の景色もよく月見の名所であった。
江戸時代後期には木戸の設備は廃止され、現在は、海岸側に５．４メートル、長さ７．３メートル、高さ３．６メートルの石垣のみが残されている。
四谷木戸は既にその痕跡を止めていないので、東京に残された、数少ない江戸時代の産業交通土木に関する史跡として重要である。震災後「史跡名勝天然記念物保存法」により内務省（後文部省所管）から指定された。
