Tsuki no Misaki (月の岬, lit. "promontory of the moon") is a plateau in the Mita district of Minato, Tokyo, Japan. The Buddhist temple of Saikai-ji, Shinto shrine of Mita Hachiman Jinja and Kamezuka Park extend from the slope on the seaward side, while the Mita Elementary School stands on the inland side.
History of the name
Tokyo Bay could be seen from this overlook a long time ago, and so Tsuki no Misaki was famous as a location to see the moon over the bay. In the Edo period, Tokugawa Ieyasu named this place Tsuki no Misaki. However, temples and daimyos' mansions occupied the area in the Edo period, and common people were not able to enter.
Slopes of Tsuki no Misaki
There are many slopes on the place. Ancient Tokaido is equivalent to the Hijiri zaka (聖坂). As for the slope, the name changes from the top of Isarago zaka 「伊皿子坂」to the Nihon enoki dori 「二本榎通り」. A wide range of thin slopes hang over the slope as the branch road of the road. The historic episode exists on each slope. Now, the wooden ranging pole which it is written down is built at the side at the road.
Gyoranzaka (魚藍坂) is a hill road in Mita 4-chome. It reaches the promontory from Gyoranzaka Crossing which results from the summit in Isaragozaka.
Hebizaka (蛇坂) is a slope which is in district four of Mita. Hebi means snake.
Anzenjizaka (安全寺坂) is a hill road crossing between Mita 3-chome and 4-chome. The temple of Anzenji was built here in the Edo era.
Shinto shrines and Temples
In the early stages of the Edo period, the Shogun decided to extend Edo Castle and ordered temples around there to move into here. From such a reason , there were many temples on the hill. Specially in Mita (三田) named Tera machi (寺町), there were many temples. As for shrines, there are its ancestor can go back to the Asuka or Heian period.
Tokyo is the city which the aspect changes to rapidly, but the scenery of here didn't change.
Parks
During the Edo period, mansions of many daimyō were located all over the hill. By the Meiji period, many of these mansions became the property of high-ranking government officials. At present, the vacant lot is open to all. By such historic process, the Parks locate in wide area and have a fine scene.
