What counter should I use for gates?
 

I'm somewhat stumped on this one. I was thinking of torii-style gates, and they don't quite fit into a nice category. My first thought was to use 軒 (ken), but a gate isn't a building. 口 (kuchi) doesn't seem to fit; even though it means 'entrance', I don't think it's ever used for counting entrances. My third thought was just to use ヶ (ko), but my impression is that you don't use ヶ unless there is no other counter to use (which I don't think would be a common occurrence considering the number of counters there are).

So, which josûshi goes with "門"?

what if you just used 入 (which mean like enter) or use something like that. im not that good at finding what you are looking for but i hope i may have helped.

I'm pretty sure that it is 基　（き） if you are referring to a torii-type gate.

Huh? Since when 入 is a counter?

ah i screwed up on that. sorry i was thinking of something else. i dont know tooo much about that stuff but i thought i would give it a shot. but i am obviously stupid and look like an idiot now huh.
