Gojukken Nagaya has many windows on both sides. On the Ni-no-maru side, the first and second floor windows are located vertically above one another for aesthetic beauty. However, on the San-no-maru side, the location of windows on the first and second floors is designed for fighting. They are placed alternately so that there would be no blind spot for the defenders.
