Consideration of "Slope" in Chuo-ku

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] July 6, 2015 09:00

(It's a maniac content)

There are many things that are not found in other wards of Tokyo in Chuo-ku, both historically and culturally, but on the other wards are listed as things that are not found in Chuo-ku. It seems that "the station on the ground (train) station" and "hill".

By the way, in Minato-ku, it seems that there is a street name with a "hill" at the end of more than 80. The photo below, "Imoaraizaka", "Toriizaka", "Darkzaka", and "Nanbuzaka" are also "Slope" in Minato-ku.

I mentioned that there is no ground station in Chuo-ku before on this blog.

In addition, about "there is no slope in Chuo-ku", other authors mentioned in this blog before, but is there really no "hill" in Chuo-ku?

Certainly, looking at the website of "Sakakai" (), in Tokyo's 23 wards, the wards without "Saka" are Katsushika, Edogawa-ku, and Chuo-ku. . Even in Koto-ku (rude), the names of the two hills are written.

When you draw a "hill" at "Kojien", it says "one is high, one is low, and sloped."

The last difficulty of the Tokyo Marathon, "Uphill Road in front of" Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge "", isn't that" slope "?

At least, in conversation, it's called "Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge Hill".

So, for me, I would like to say that there is a "hill" in Chuo Ward, but how about it?

There are many bridges in Chuo-ku, and the roads leading to that bridge are more or less "sloping roads". Officially, the name of the street is not "Slope".

In Kobe, etc., most of the streets running north and south are slopes, so I heard that even on slopes, the place names and street names are rarely named "Saka".

And what I usually think is that it was a tweet for each person, Zhanjiang
