Nezu Shrine

The Nezu Shrine features multiple buildings constructed in the Ishi-no-ma-zukuri architectural style, with vermilion torii gates leading through the hillside grounds.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi relocated the shrine to its current location in 1705, establishing it as a guardian sanctuary for his successor Tokugawa Ienobu.

The shrine's main hall connects to the worship and offertory halls under a single roof, following traditional Japanese religious architectural principles from 1706.

Visitors can reach the shrine within five minutes by foot from Nezu Station on the Chiyoda Line or six minutes from Todaimae Station.

During the annual Azalea Festival from April to May, 3,000 azalea plants create floral displays across the shrine's hillside gardens.
