■坂名説明標柱

港に出入りする船舶がよく見えることから、明治6年（1873年）坂上を船見町と名付け、その町に通じる坂なので「船見坂」と呼んだ。また、称名寺の下の坂なので「称名寺坂」とも呼ばれた。戦後、上が校地となり坂は途中までとなった。

FUNAMI ZAKA SLOPE
The upper part of the slope was named “Funami cho” in 1873,because from here one can gain a clear view of all ship movement in the bay.The slope leading to “Funami cho” was named “Funami Zaka”.This slope was also called “Shomyoji Temple Zaka”,because it is situated at the foot of Shomyoji Temple.After World War Ⅱ,an elementary school was built at the upper part of the slope and consequently the length of slope was reduced.
