History
Founded in 1603 CE by order of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who invited the enshrined kami from the outer subsidiary shrine of Shinmiya Shrine in Shigaraki Town, Koka City, Shiga Prefecture. Mount Atago was regarded as a sacred site protecting Edo, enshrining Atago Gongen, associated with victory and fire protection. Its origins also trace back to the invitation of the Shogyo Jizo Bosatsu, a figure of faith for Tokugawa Ieyasu.

What visitors say
Beyond the steep 'Success Stone Steps,' a quiet shrine precincts awaits, away from the city's hustle and bustle. Due to its elevated location, views of landmarks like the Tokyo Tower can be enjoyed. Because the steps are steep, the use of an elevator is recommended for those with weak legs or the elderly. Plum trees within the grounds offer different seasonal scenery.
