These stone steps lead up to the shrine Shinonome Jinja 東雲神社 near the castle of Matsuyama, where Shiki lived.
This shrine had been established by lord Matsudaira Sadamichi 松平定通 (1805 - 1835) of the Matsuyama domaine. There are in fact 201 steps to climb up.
The shrine was once located within the castle compound.
