The hundred-step Otokozaka slope at Mt. Atago

The stone stairs leading to Atago Shinto Shrine at the top of Mt. Atago. The steps in the centre, Otoko-zaka (Man Slope), are mentioned in old stories and songs as the place where Magaki Heikuro ascended and descended on horseback. The inclination of about 40 degrees seems too steep for a horse. The gently-sloping staircase on the right is Onna-zaka (Woman Slope). There was a third slope called Shin-zaka (New Slope) at the other side of the mountain. One of the photographs in the album sold by Baron Raimund von Stillfried Rathenitz, this may have been taken by Felix Beato in the early years of the Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:R.

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]
