Heifurizaka Heifuri-zaka

Do you tend to misunderstand the meaning of your name? Heifuri-zaka

There are several slopes called Heifuri-zaka in Nagasaki, and the two most famous among them are the two slopes on Teramachi Street. The slopes between Daionji and Kodaiji, and between Choshoji and Enmeiji, all lead to the top of Mt. Kazuto.
In 1638, in order to build the Great Torii Gate (currently Nino-Torii Gate) of Suwa Shrine, which was around the temple town at the time, stones were cut from Mt. Kazegashira and brought down to the foot of the mountain. I was wondering if it was something I had done. It is said that the story originates from the fact that at that time, one of the rulers suddenly climbed on top of a stone and waved a gohei (a sacred ritual tool made of paper cut from a long thin tree and hung from it) to encourage the people.

In other words, it's called ``Neifurizaka''. I think there are many people who think otherwise.

The stone steps that go straight up the side of Higashi Hongan-ji Temple are also called Heifuri-zaka, and they appear in the opening and final scenes of the movie Kaika.
