Geocache Description:

Gonnosuke Slope is a slope of Megro Road facing Ootori Shinto shrine from Meguro Station.
 


Meguro Road was a course via the rapid slope called Gyonin Slope in old days.
Gyoninzaka slope was a very hard slope, and the traffic of people with the baggage was difficult.
There is the opinion that Gonnosuke Slope was made by Gonnosuke Suganuma to solve this problem.
(There are the various opinions in the origin of the Gonnosuke Slope. The opinion mentioned above is one of them.)

Originally the Gonnosuke Slope was the road which passed through the south side of Meguro Station.
A way via the north side of the station was founded to break off increase of the traffic.
Therefore a road diverges in the middle of a slope.
Gonnosuke Slope pedestrian bridge is a pedestrian bridge being at the spot where this road diverges.
Form of the pedestrian bridge is not a straight line. It is an interesting shape.
From this pedestrian bridge, we can enjoy the beautiful night view of a car running at night.

I placed pedestrian bridge.
Cache size is micro.
Please bring your pen.

権之助坂は目黒駅から大鳥神社に向かう目黒道の坂です。
元々は目黒道は行人坂という急な坂を通るコースでしたが、通行に難があったため権之助坂が作られたとも言われています。
(権之助坂の由来には諸説あり、他の説もあります)
  
権之助坂は、元々は目黒駅の南側を抜ける道でしたが、交通量の増大で、駅の北側を通る道が新設されています。
坂の途中で道が分岐する面白い坂です。
権之助坂歩道橋は、この道が分岐する地点に架かる歩道橋です。
歩道橋の形も直線ではなく他にはない形状をしています。
夜には走る車のきれいな夜景も楽しむことができます。
  
私はこの歩道橋にキャッシュを設置しました。
マイクロサイズなので、ペンをお持ちください。
