If you’re up for a challenge, why not tackle the “Stone Steps to Success” at the nearby Atago Shrine. You’ll need to ascend these 86 steps to reach the shrine at the summit of Atago Hill. Like much of the area, this verdant mound is also steeped in history. Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of Japan’s last and longest-running shogunate (military government), commissioned the shrine in 1603 to ward off fires and natural disasters.
