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.

Otowayama Kiyomizu-dera Temple was founded in 778. It dates back to about 1200 years ago. As a sacred place of Kannon, which symbolizes great mercy, it has been open to the common people since ancient times and loved by a wide range of people. Old history books and literature depict many people enjoying visiting Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
The 130,000-square-meter precincts stretch halfway up Mount Otowa in the east of Kyoto are lined with more than 30 temples and monuments, including national treasures and important cultural properties. Since its founding, the tower has been destroyed each time by a major fire exceeding 10 degrees Celsius, but it has been rebuilt many times due to devout faith. Most of the current cathedral was rebuilt in 1633. In 1994, it was registered as one of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage "Cultural Assets of Ancient Kyoto".
