⓫ Kudanzaka

This is the slope that goes up from the Kudanshita intersection to the south side of Yasukuni Shrine. The origin of the name "Kudan" is said to be because nine official residences of officials in the Fukiage Garden of Edo Castle were lined up in the middle of the slope, or because it was a steep slope with nine stone steps in the Edo period. Since it is a slope in Iida-cho, it was also called "Iida-cho-zaka" or "Iida-zaka" in the old days.
