On top of Mount Atago sits the historic Atago shrine, which appeared in the saying '7 visits to Ise, 3 visits to Kumano, and monthly visits to shiba no atago'. As it is a shrine connected to Togawa Ieyasu, the ground will be bustling with people on Sennichimairi, an annual event in June when it is said that paying homage on this one day will lead to a thousand days' worth of blessings.
It is said that Katsu Kaishū invited Saigō Takamori to Atagoyama mountaintop, where he pointed at the streets of Great Edo and lamented about its exposure to damages by the war.
