Success-symbol staircase

Atago Jinja, a historic shrine on Tokyo's highest natural hill, was founded in 1603 by shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. The shrine is famously approached via the 'Shusse no Ishidan,' a steep stone staircase of over 80 steps, symbolizing success and promotion. Visitors climb these steps as a ritual in their quest for career advancement.
