駒札: ねじりまんぽ 「ねじりまんぽ」は三条通から南禅寺へ向かう道路の造成に伴って建設され、明治21年(1888)年6月に完成しました。「まんぽ」とはトンネルを意味する古い言葉で、「ねじりまんぽ」は、「ねじりのあるトンネル」という意味です。上部にあるインクライン(傾斜鉄道)と斜めに交わる道路に合わせ、トンネルも斜めに掘られるとともに強度を確保する観点から、内壁のレンガを螺旋状に積む工法が採られています。 トンネルの東西には、トンネルの完成を祝い第3代京都府知事の北垣国道が揮毫した扁額があります。西口の「雄観奇想(ゆうかんきそう)」は「見事なながめとすぐれた考えである」、東口の「陽気発処(ようきはっするところ)」は「精神を集中して物事を行えば、どんな困難にも打ち勝つことができる」という意味です。 このような形状のトンネルは旧国鉄東海道本線の敷設工事など関西で多く見られますが、鉄道以外での施工例は希少です。「ねじりまんぽ」は明治時代の土木技術を物語る貴重な遺産と言えます。 京都市 Piece card: twisted manpo "Nejirimanpo" was constructed along with the construction of the road from Sanjo-dori to Nanzen-ji Temple, and was completed in June 1888. “Manpo” is an old word that means tunnel, and “Nejirimanpo” means “twisted tunnel”. The tunnel was dug diagonally to match the road diagonally crossing the incline (sloping railroad) at the top, and from the viewpoint of ensuring strength, a construction method was adopted in which the bricks for the inner wall were piled up in a spiral. To the east and west of the tunnel, there are plaques written by Kunimichi Kitagaki, the third governor of Kyoto Prefecture, to celebrate the completion of the tunnel. Nishiguchi's

What a gem!

Built in 1888, the Nejirimanpo (which literally means, twisted tunnel) was constructed at an angle to accommodate angled roads and the trains above. The bricks were laid in a spiral to add strength.
