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.

If Tokyo has been on your travel itinerary for some time or you are planning to visit the city in the near future, then be sure to stop at Nezu Shrine. The most alluring thing about this tourist spot is that it is a Shinto shrine that dates back to the 1700s. The place is well known for its glorious annual Azalea Festival (Tsutsuji Matsuri), held in April and May. According to indigenous beliefs, the shrine was built by the renowned priest Yamato Takeru no Mikoto for the deity Susanoo no Mikoto. Also, all the pavilions in the shrine were constructed under the command of Tsunayoshi Tokugawa between 1646 and 1709. It owes its fame to noteworthy literary dignitaries of the modern era such as Mori and Natsume who cited the place in their writings.
Nezu Jinja. A historic shrine located in Tokyo's traditional downtown and a symbol of Nezu.
ศาลเจ้าเนซุ ศาลเจ้าทางประวัติศาสตร์ที่ตั้งอยู่ใจกลางเมืองโตเกียวและเป็นสัญลักษณ์แห่งเนซุ
Nezu Shrine in Bunkyo-ku is always worth a visit, thanks to its wonderful historical buildings nestled down in the hilly landscape, the torii path, as well as the beautiful and detailed decorations of the main hall. However, the highlight of the year is the Tsutsuji Matsuri, or Azalea Festival, which takes place every year from around mid-April until the beginning of May, when the azalea bushes start to bloom. I definitely recommend to try and go during the week; it's much more charming without the weekend crowds... Enjoy!

В апреле тысячи азалий цветут на восточном склоне Нэдзу-дзиндзя. Святилище Нэдзу постоянно посещают верующие, но в период цветения азалий народу становится еще больше.
Đền Nezu ở Bunkyo-ku luôn là một nơi đáng ghé thăm nhờ những tòa nhà lịch sử tuyệt vời nằm nép mình giữa cảnh quan đồi núi, một con đường cổng torii cũng như những họa tiết trang trí tỉ mỉ và đẹp mắt của chính điện. Tuy nhiên, điểm nhấn của năm là Tsutsuji Matsuri hay lễ hội hoa đỗ quyên diễn ra thường niên từ khoảng giữa tháng 4 đến đầu tháng 5, khi đó những bụi đỗ quyên bắt đầu nở. Tôi chắc chắn sẽ khuyên bạn đến đây trong tuần; nơi đây sẽ hấp dẫn hơn nhiều khi không có đám đông vào cuối tuần...Hãy tận hưởng!
Храм Нэдзу в Бункё-ку достоин посещения в любое время года, благодаря его прекрасным историческим постройкам, расположенным на холмистом ландшафте, дорожке из Тории, а также красивым и детальным оформлением главного зала.

Я определенно рекомендую попробовать прийти сюда в будний день: любоваться красивыми азалиями куда приятнее без выходных толп... Наслаждайтесь!
분쿄구의 네즈신사는 언제 찾아도 멋지다. 언덕에 위치한 역사적인 매력이 넘치는 건물, 여러 개의 토리이가 이어져 있는 언덕길과 아름다운 정교하고 치밀하게 가꾸어진 본당, 이것만으로도 충분히 찾을만한 가치가 있다. 그러나 한 해를 통틀어 가장 볼만한 곳은 단연"진달래 축제"이다. 이 축제는 매년 진달래꽃이 피기 시작하는 4월 중순부터 5월 초순에 걸쳐 열린다. 여긴 평일에 가는것을 강력히 추천하고 싶다; 혼잡없이 보는 철쭉이 절대 좋은것이 분명하기 때문이다!

Ueno Zoo is the oldest zoo in Japan and one of Ueno's greatest attractions.
