Our early morning visit to Tokyo’s Nezu Shrine involved a 6:30am session of Radio Taiso with the local senior citizens, followed by a walk to Yanaka Ginza.
This shrine may look like it’s plucked straight from Kyoto, but its torii tunnel and blooming azalea sit nestled right in Tokyo.
Nezu Shrine Azalea Festival from mid-April till the end of Golden Week (1st week of May) is a beautiful landscape of ancient Japanese temple buildings
Dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane this shrine hosts the famous Ume Matsuri, celebrating the arrival of spring and plum blossoms.
