樱花坡

Sakura-zaka
This hill is a path of the old Nakahara highway, previously referred to as Numabe-Osaka, in the steep gradient, such as the passage of the carts was very hard.
Now it has become a way of loose slope, there are still vestiges of the old Nakahara highway on the west side of the hill.
The name of the hill is in honor of the cherry tree that has been planted on both sides of the road.

桜坂（さくらざか）
この坂 道は、旧中原街道の切通しで、昔は沼部大坂といい、勾配のきつい坂 で、荷車の通行などは大変であったという。
今ではゆるい傾斜道となっているが、坂の西側に旧中原街道のおもかげを残している。
坂 名は両側に植えられた桜に因む。
