Sloping Roads Retaining the Vestiges of the Edo Period, Wrapped in Tradition and Atmosphere

A Path to Touch History with Your Skin

The sloping roads that have continued since the Edo period retain the strong vestiges of that time. The origin of the name of the slope is said to be derived from the former shogunate's gunnery training ground, evoking the breath of that era. Walking on the stone-paved paths, you can think about the footsteps of the townspeople and samurai of Edo.

Scenic Atmosphere in the Back Alleys

At the top of the slope, a quiet residential area spreads out. The lingering atmosphere of the back alleys is so strong, as if you have stepped into another world away from the hustle and bustle. There are more slopes around, allowing you to fully enjoy the old charm of Edo Tokyo.

Enjoy a Leisurely Stroll

On the way of the slope, there are emotionally rich scenes of Edo townhouses. Walking through the back alleys, you may taste an extraordinary experience away from everyday life. It is not only a tourist spot but also a perfect place to experience the culture of Edo Tokyo.
