Hijirizaka (聖坂) is a hill (Tsuki no Misaki (月の岬)) road in Mita 4-chome. The slope runs from the south to the north on the ridge the promontory. Mita Junior High School and the Kuwaiti Embassy sit on the inland side of the road. It intersects Shiomizaka (潮見坂) and Yūreizaka (幽霊坂). Kamezuka Park (亀塚公園) and a Shinto shrine sit on the seaward side of the slope. This slope is a traffic road of ancient times and the middle ages where Kohya Hijiri (高野聖), a place where Buddhist monks were sent from to teach, opened. It is assumed that this name was used because their inns were on the side of the slope. This slope was also called Takeshiba no saka (竹芝の坂) or Takeshiba slope (竹芝坂).
