Nezu Shrine
The Nezu Shrine, built in 1705, is one of the oldest Shinto shrines in Tokyo. It is famous for its Azalea Spring Festival, when around 50 species of azaleas are in full bloom from late April to May. Food stalls and games are also part of the festival.
He is also known for his rows of red torii, similar to those in Fushimi Inari in Kyoto. It is one of the few shrines where the original structure has been preserved to this day. The Nezu Shrine has escaped destruction by fire and war, and it is an important cultural asset of the city.
There are numerous cafes and traditional candy shops in the streets around the shrine. B. offer popular Karinto biscuits or taiyaki filled with bean paste.
