What's good about this shot is that you have captured the sense of a long flight of steep steps. That comes partly from the two figures climbing, including them was a good idea.

The exposure is a bit too dark so you lose detail in the walls and foliage at the sides.

There is nothing to give a context -- presumably a torii could be seen at the bottom of the steps if you pulled back. I recognise this as Japanese only because I have spent plenty fo time in Japan.

It's difficult to see that the two girls are Japanese. I assume from your comment that the interest of this picture is because it is the steps in The Last Samurai, and if that's important you want to find a way of showing the Japanese environment.
