It's new! Nishi Ward Tekuteku Sketch: The 60th Nanakumazaka


Walk along the Kubocho intersection at the entrance of NicoNico Shopping Street on Route 1 toward Hodogaya Station, and enter the residential street on the left side, you will find Nanakumazaka on the border with Hodogaya Ward.
In fact, there are four turns, but about 160 steps that are bent at steep angles alternately left and right. When sketching at the fourth turn, you can hear the sound of a car running on a nearby national highway, the sound of "Kan, Khan" at Shimo-Iwama Railroad Crossing, and the sound of trains such as the JR Tokaido Line. The person holding the luggage goes up while saying "Yoisho!" Beyond the stairs, you can see the Bill Street in Yokohama-sta.-nishiguchi.
Until 16 years ago, there was a girls' school at Fujimioka Gakuen on the stairs, so in the evening a student wearing sailor clothes went up and down this stairs while talking lively.
When you go up the stairs, you will find Todaiji Temple and a sign of a slope stands. The place where the girls' school was located is now a condominium.
