Many people visit Atago Shrine for the first time. The worshipers form a long line along the approach to the shrine, which extends to the middle of Otokozaka every year. In addition, since the shrine precincts are on a hill that opens to the east, it is a great point to see the first sunrise of the year, which can be said to be one or two in the city. On New Year's Day, when the weather is nice, many people gather for the first sunrise of the year, despite the harsh cold weather.
