Tips from the community
The Suga Shrine is one of many beautiful shrines in Tokyo, and while it might not be as spectacular as the Senso-ji in Asakusa, this one is hugely popular with anime lovers for the staircase leading up to it. This staircase, with its simple red railing, seems tame at first, until it clicks that this is the staircase from the most famous shot in the biggest anime film in history: Your Name (or Kimi no Na wa). The staircase was featured in every promotional poster and trailer before the film’s release, and continues to be the image most associated with the film. As such, getting a photo at this staircase is a must-do.
