Nezu Shrine
根津神社Tokyo · Kanto
Nezu Shrine is one of Tokyo's oldest shrines, its 1706 buildings surviving intact, with a tunnel of small vermilion torii gates climbing the hillside that recalls Fushimi Inari yet is often overlooked by visitors. The traditional architecture and enclosed grounds keep it quiet most of the year. Its azalea slope holds around 3,000 shrubs of some 100 varieties, flowering from early April into May.
