Atop a hill in Tokyo’s Toranomon district stands Atago Shrine, a historic sanctuary famous for its steep “Stairway to Success.” Climbing the stone steps rewards visitors with a peaceful retreat from the city’s bustle—a place cherished since the Edo period. The shrine is believed to bring good fortune in career advancement and protection from fire, drawing many visitors throughout the year. Blending nature and tradition, this site offers a unique glimpse into Japan’s spiritual culture. (An elevator is available for those who prefer not to use the stairs.)
