Nene (1546-1624) was an aristocrat who lived during the Sengoku and Edo periods of Japanese history. She was married to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who unified and ruled Japan.
She was his principal wife.
Nene was a highly intelligent woman but did not bear him children.
What Nene is best known for today is the street that bears her name:
The Path of Nene
This beautiful street runs north to south in the Higashiyama Ward of Kyoto. It lies below Kodaiji Temple, and is a short walk from Kiyomizu Temple.
On a recent evening, these giant fake green tea ice cream cones beckoned to the few passersby.
During peak times - cherry blossom season and fall colors - cycling is not recommended.
