The stairs of the approach to Suwa Shrine in Nagasaki were long and steep, perfect for the hilly town of Nagasaki

The Suwa Shrine in Nagasaki sits on top of a hill. The approach to the shrine has a steep staircase, and even if one does not know how prestigious this shrine is, it is made to look somewhat dignified. The shrine overlooks the town. Most often, the exalted are literally higher than the common beings. The builders of the shrine must have been aware of this.

As I stood at the bottom of the steps to go to the shrine, I looked up and saw a pair of men and women stopped in the middle of the steps. They appear to be resting a bit. Perhaps they were tired from climbing the stairs.
