What to expect
The vibrant hues of 3,000 azaleas create a stunning floral tapestry against the historic backdrop of Nezu Shrine's vermilion torii gates. The air is filled with the scent of blossoms and the lively sounds of festival-goers.
Best viewing tips
Visit in the morning for softer light and fewer crowds. The best views are from the shrine's pathways, where you can capture the contrast between the azaleas and the shrine's architecture.
