地名としての柿の木坂は、坂の北西一帯の地域である。全体は、北西 - 南東方向にやや細長い三角形をしており、北西から南東に呑川柿の木坂支流が縦貫している。南東辺を目黒通り、北東辺を環七通り、西辺を柿の木坂通り（区道）が通っており、柿の木坂二丁目と柿の木坂三丁目の間を東西に駒沢通りが通っている。

The name of this district was created in 1932, when Meguro ward was created.
From the South-eastern part it has three sub-districts, 柿の木坂一丁目、柿の木坂二丁目、柿の木坂三丁目.
In former times, this part was called
Fusuma mura 衾村 Fusuma village
and belonged to the estate of the 吉良氏 Kira clan in Setagaya. Along the river 呑川 Nomigawa there was farm land.
When Tokugawa Ieyasu came to Edo, this district was given to the temple Zōjō-ji 増上寺 Zojo-Ji
Since that time there was a slope called Kakinokizaka. At the beginning of the slope there was a huge persimmon tree, hence the name.
Another story about the name
tells of farmers, who had to pull up their carts on this steep slope. The children living nearby helped them and got a little pocket money for their effort. They also often managed to pick out (nuki) some persimmons (kaki) from the luggage - hence the name
kaki nuki saka 柿抜き坂 slope of stealing persimmons.

南木曽町 Minami-Kiso town
tanuki たぬき badger
This Tanuki lived just below the Kakinokizaka slope and often came out to trick people.
If someone passes the slope in the evening, there might be the sound of cutting a tree and then a tree fallilng down - but next morning nothing has changed.
Sometimes there is the feeling of a wind licking the face of a farmer - and looking down there might be a Tanuki.

死はある日忽然と来よ傘雨の忌
梅雨の家子連狼来て荒す
