We can see a blue overbridge from the southern end of the platform of Nippori station. At that point, there was once Imozaka(芋坂 potato-slope).
The upper end of slope was a cemtery, Yanakabochi(谷中墓地). The foot of the slope is a dumpling shop, the "Habutae-dango."
On the last day of the Ueno war(the last troop of Edo bakufu(=gouvernment) was beaten by the terrorist army which would be later army of gouvernment), the survives of the troop escaped through the Imozaka slope. Yanaka cemetery was the cemetry of Tokugawa shoguns and retainers.
