Miyuki Slope

Throughout the Edo period (1603–1867), people entering the castle from the Yamasaki district of Kumamoto had to cross a narrow wooden bridge before proceeding up the slope on the south side of the castle to reach the main gate here. With the advent of the Meiji era (1868–1912), however, persons of consequence started traveling in horse-drawn carriages rather than in palanquins or on horseback. The road was straightened and the old wooden bridge replaced with a new, wider one in time for a 1902 visit by the reigning Emperor Meiji. Improvements were also made to the southern slope approach, with cherry trees planted on both sides of the road. The new bridge was called Miyuki (Imperial Visit) Bridge, and the approach itself was named Miyuki Slope.

行幸坂

江戶時代（1603-1867），人們從熊本山崎地區進入熊本城，必須先穿過一座狹窄的木橋，再爬上城南側的斜坡之後，才能到達正門（南大手門）。隨著明治時代（1868-1912）到來，有身份的人都開始乘坐馬車，而不再坐轎或騎馬。因此，在1902年明治天皇行幸此地之際，道路被修直，舊木橋被一座更寬的新橋取代。南側的斜坡也進行了整修，道路兩旁種植了櫻花樹。這座新橋被稱為「行幸橋」，通往城的斜坡被稱為「行幸坂」。
