The Atago Shrine in Minato, Tokyo, Japan is a Shinto shrine established in 1603 on the order of Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. The current shrine on the site dates from 1958. The shrine is located on Atago Hill, which is 26 meters above sea level. In old times, the shrine had an excellent view of Tokyo, now obscured by high rises. The very steep stairs leading to the shrine are also famous, as they represent success in life.
