Cherry blossom season has just finished.
Now, it is time for azalea.
I visited Nezu Shrine in Bunkyo ward, about 5 km north from the Imperial Palace.The Shrine is famous for its azalea garden. They held “Azalea Festival” when I visited there.
There are about 3000 azalea trees in the shrine. They have flowers of various colors – white, pink, red, purple, white/pink blend, etc. It was so beautiful.
There were open-air stalls of foods, sweets and daily commodities. I also found a goldfish scooping stall. People were enjoying the festival.
The shrine was built by the Shogun family in the Edo era.
