Hanyu-zaka

Japanese: 埴生坂 - はにゅうざか

A slope where the ancient Tajihi Road crosses the Habikino Hills from east to west. It is believed to be in Habikino City, Osaka Prefecture. According to a tale about Emperor Richu in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, after the death of Emperor Nintoku, the crown prince (later Emperor Richu) was attacked by Prince Sumiyoshinaka and passed Hanyuzaka on his way to Yamato after fleeing from Naniwa Palace (present-day Chuo Ward, Osaka City). From Naniwa, the Naniwa Daido Road ran south and intersected with the Tajihi Road near Kanaoka Shrine in present-day Sakai City, leading to Yamato. The Tajihi Road, which appears in the entry for March 649 in the Nihon Shoki, may also refer to Hanyuzaka. There is a theory that it was located in present-day Nonoue, but there is also a theory that it was located further south in the vicinity of Habikino 1-2-chome.

古代の丹比(たじひ)道が羽曳野(はびきの)丘陵を東西に越える坂。大阪府羽曳野市内とされる。《古事記》《日本書紀》の履中天皇に関する説話によると，仁徳天皇の死後住吉仲皇子に襲われた皇太子（のちの履中天皇）が難波(なにわ)宮（現大阪市中央区）を逃れて大和に向かう途中，埴生坂を通ったという。難波からは難波大道が南下し，現堺市の金岡神社付近で丹比道と交差し大和に通じていた。《日本書紀》大化５年（649）３月条にみえる丹比坂も埴生坂を指す可能性がある。所在地は現野々上(ののうえ)説，これより南の羽曳野１・２丁目付近にあてる説がある。
