[Kyoto] Meiji Era Tunnel

"Manpo" is an old word meaning tunnel, and Nejiri Manpo is a pedestrian tunnel that runs under the Keage Incline. I passed through it on my way to Nanzenji Temple. If you look closely, you will see that the bricks are stacked in a spiral shape, which is said to be to increase strength. This tunnel allows you to see the technology of the Meiji period.
