Description
The name of the hill comes from an anecdote that it was so steep, people pulling carts had to support them with their buttocks when going down.
There is a guide sign for the Onko Chishin Route (“Learn Anew by Studying Past Route”).
* Onko Chishin Route is a city walking route on which you can discover the city’s history and attractions. There are three routes, namely Onko Chishin Route of Industry Connecting New and Old Downtowns, Onko Chishin Route of New and Old Tokaido, and Onko Chishin Route of Living. Along each route, “general guidance signs” that compare the past and the present with maps and photos, and “site commentary signs” that describe the old landscape and figures with photos and maps have been put up. The descriptions on each sign are written in Japanese and English.
