Toyokuni Jinja Shrine in Higashiyama, the mausoleum of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, has a grand staircase of 489 steps. It also serves as a training ground for students from nearby schools. The stairs have become wobbly due to ageing, so they are being re-set to prevent injuries. As machinery cannot be brought in, all aggregates and tools are carried in by hand.
