出世坂 / Shusse Zaka

出世坂（位於釧路市；出世：日文中為出人頭地；坂：日文中為坡道）位在作為觀光景點而有名的花時鐘的斜坡的隔壁。在釧路市開發當時，因為要來回上下爬階梯非常辛苦因此被稱為地獄坂。然而在1913年，這個斜坡上建立了釧路中學後，變成為一心向學的年輕人所聚集的坡道，因為期待著年輕人的志向和活躍，人們便將這條坡道改稱為出世坂。

Shusse Zaka (Kushiro City) is recognized as a lucky spot because the name translates to successful careers in English. This steep slope with steps is next to a wall which is almost vertical and houses the Hanadokei, or Flower Clock in English. When Kushiro City was established, this slope was called Jigoku Zaka which means the Slope of Hell in English, due to the hardness of climbing up and down. However, after the former Kushiro Koryo High School was built on the area above the slope, it was renamed the Slope to Success, because ambitious students aiming for successful careers took that path.
