Starting from the Omotesando trailhead of Mt. Atago, the climb turns steep from the very first steps, stealing my breath away.
Yet the lingering scent of winter and the crisp air along the path bring a quiet comfort, softening the struggle.

The sacred messenger of Atago Shrine is the boar—my zodiac sign—making this a place I had long dreamed of visiting.
And as expected, the joy of finally being here showed in every step I took.

Standing before the rugged trail, I felt it—
another small piece of growth, earned step by step.
