Walking around the grounds of Hie Shrine, Akasaka, Tokyo. Noted for having escalators up to the entrance, as well as having a row of tori gates up some stairs at the back entrance. The tori gate staircase is rammed with tourists just milling around and getting in the way trying to take photos, one of the things that drives me insane but I'll not rant about that here! A nice place in the middle of the city, worth checking out if you're in the area.
