As I continue to explore Nezu Shrine in Bunkyo ward, you will find a few interesting things around the two-storied romon (the tower gate which was built back in 1706).
For one, you’ll see a bridge which is quite popular for wedding photos or scenery photos in general.
In fact, what is fascinating about Nezu Shrine is around mid-April and early-May as the shrine holds a Tsutsuji Matsuri (Azalea Festival) in which the Azalea bushes around the bridge blossom and you see colors of white, pink, purple and red.
I often tend to be in Japan between October-December, so I don’t get to see the colorful azaleas but you can see the bushes surrounding the bridge in my photos below.
And to the opposite side of the romon, you will see the following:
A beautiful shrine, but in Part 5, I will discuss the Honden area!
