Atago Shrine

The 'Stairs of Success' up the highest natural hill in the 23 wards.

A steep stone staircase — the Shusse no Kaidan — climbs 26 meters to a small shrine on the highest natural point in central Tokyo. Office workers come to pray for promotion; travelers come for the calm, the koi pond and the surprise of a wooded shrine surrounded by towers.
