Why is it called Ni-neizaka?
1. It is said that this name was given when the slope was built in the 2nd year of Datong (807 AD).
2. The theory that it came to be called Niningzaka because it is under Sanneizaka.
So why Sanneizaka?
It is a famous story that Toyotomi Hideyoshi's right wife (northern political office) "Nene" lived in Kodaiji. It is said that the name came from the fact that "Nene" went up the slope to visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple in memory of the birth of a child.
If you fall on Niningzaka, you will die within two years?!
This slope has been around for a long time, but this name became the street name because it means the slope in front of Sanen-zaka.
The legend that "if you stumble and fall here, you will die within two years" seems to have been handed down as a warning phrase "Be careful on the stone steps."
According to a certain diary, "In the eighth year of the Horeki era (1758), a person named Masuya Kihei, with the permission of the government, made it a pioneer house." Since then, this area has been called Masuyacho. It is the current house in the early Taisho period and is designated as a national townscape preservation area.

If you’re a Ghibli’s fan thinking of visiting Japan, one of the places where you should definitely visit is Shiro-hige’s Cream Puff Factory, in Setagaya (Tokyo). Setagaya is a residential area near Shinjuku popular for its more bohemian and retro-style coffee shops and stores in Shimo Kitazawa.
there’s only one bakery in the world with official permission to make sweets (cream puff, cookies, cakes, etc) with the shape of Totoro, one of the most iconic and popular characters of Studio Ghibli.
It’s a small building but it has two floors. On the ground floor is the shop and the bakery where they make the sweets (cookies, cakes, etc.). You can buy your Totoro here and take it home or anywhere else. They pack it carefully inside a box for take out. But if you can’t resist the urge to try these famous cream puffs, you can savor them on the second floor of the cafe while sipping a delicious coffee or tea. And on sunny days and in good weather, there’s also a terrace on the ground floor outside the store.
