Atago-jinja Shrine - Tokyo Japan - One of The Oldest in Tokyo
The Atago-jinja Shrine is a Shinto shrine located on Mount Atago in Kyoto, Japan. It is one of the oldest shrines in Tokyo and is easily accessible from Shimbashi and Kamiyacho stations. Enshrined is Atago Gongen, who protects Kyoto from fire.
The late-Kamakura period Honden has been designated an Important Cultural Property. The Atago-jinja Shrine in Minato ward in southern Tokyo is a spiritual branch of the Atago-jinja Shrine in Kyoto, which is famous for enshrining gods who offer protection from fire. It is characterized by its high stone steps connecting numerous pavilions hidden in a luxuriant natural setting. The current shrine buildings on the site date from 1958. The shrine has 86 stairs from the bottom to the main shrine and is 26 meters above sea level, which is the highest in Tokyo’s 23 wards.
The Atago Shrine 愛宕神社 in Minato, Tokyo, Japan is a Shinto shrine established in 1603 (the eighth year of the Keichō era) on the order of shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu.
According to legend, a young samurai dared to ride his horse up the stairs to deliver plum blossoms to the shōgun. It took his horse only one minute to get up, but 45 minutes to get down, and the horse was utterly exhausted afterwards. This scene is depicted in a painting in the main shrine hall.
Currently the shrine is being expanded and the lot gardens are being remodled. Even with that it’s worth a short visit to see and climb the stairs.
