[Tokyo/Atago Shrine] A shrine with breathtakingly steep stone steps

Atagoyama is the highest mountain in the 23 wards. Atago Shrine is located on Atagoyama. Otokozaka has a total of 86 stone steps. The slope is about 40 degrees. It's scary to look back while climbing. These stone steps are called the Stone Steps of Success. When Tokugawa Iemitsu passed in front of him, he instructed his retainers to climb the steps on horseback and pick the plums! While everyone was afraid of the steep slope, Magaki Heikuro climbed up and down on horseback and presented them to them. Although he was unknown, he became known throughout the country because of this act. Currently, major construction work is being carried out to improve the temple grounds. It seems that the carp are also on vacation (^^) And, I recommend the "Stone Steps of Success - Gold Leaf Amulet," which is said to bring good luck! ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ❥❥ Atago Shrine 🚉9 minutes walk from Toranomon Station ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Atago Shrine #Stone Steps of Success #Shrine Tour #Tokyo Trip #Tokyo Sightseeing
