The hundred-step Otokozaka slope at Mt. Atago

Mt. Atago is a small hill of only 26 meters in height. However, because it was located in a flat area, it was known for its panoramic view and became a favourite spot to enjoy the New Year's sunrise, moon viewing and snow viewing. This photograph depicts a festival day around 1897. Children are carrying a mikoshi (portable shrine). On the right is the liquor shop Konishiya. At present, the shop stands in the foreground and its name has been changed to Atago Konishi.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐21‐0]
