"Rasho" means "citadel." "Mon" means "gate." Rashômon means the front gate of Heijokyo (Nara City) or Heiankyo (Kyoto). During the Nara Era, the capital of Japan was Heijokyo, from 710 A.D. to 784 A.D. From the Heian Era to the Edo Era, Heiankyo was the capital, from 794 A.D. to 1869 A.D. "Kyo" means "capital," and "To" means "east." So, with this in mind, Kyoto means the great capital, while Tokyo means the eastern capital.
