愛宕神社は標高26メートルの愛宕山の頂上に鎮座しており、東京23区内の最高峰として、文字通り都心の頂に位置する神社です。

The shrine's famous stone staircase is called the "Stairs of Success" because climbing it is believed to bring career advancement and professional achievement.

Built by order of Tokugawa Ieyasu as a fire prevention deity, the shrine now also protects modern "fire users", including printing and computer industry professionals.

Don't want to climb the steep stairs? There's an elevator available for visitors, though descending via the gentler "women's slope" is considered safer than the main staircase.
