Holland Slope Traditional Cache

Many foreigners passed along this slope in EDO era.
From the Edo era to the Meiji era, people except the Oriental passed this slope well. There is an opinion that this slope came to be called the Holland Slope, because in those days those people were called as "Holland-san".
There is a rare triangular gutter if you go more up the stairs from this cache area. This triangle shape keeps a fast flow even if it has low quantity of water, therefore it flushes the garbage well.
江戸時代から明治時代にかけて、この坂を東洋人以外の人がよく通行していました。当時はその人々を「オランダさん」と呼んでいたので、この坂がオランダ坂と呼ばれるようになった、という説があります。キャッシュエリアから更に階段を上ると、珍しい三角形の側溝があります。この形状は、水量が少ない場合でも速い流れを保ち、ゴミが溜まりにくくする工夫です。
