Named after Kyoto's famous Mount Atago in Arashiyama, Tokyo's Atago gives an excellent view of the bay. During the Edo period it was also a choice location for cherry-blossoms. To approach the hillside shrine you must make a choice between two sets of stairs--easy and a difficult! You will find the Benten shrine in the center of a pond.
An added attraction is the teahouse for a well-earned rest and refreshment.
