Place to See Azaleas - Nezu Shrine

Nezu Shrine is located in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo. The shrine's garden is home to more than 100 varieties of about 3,000 azalea bushes. Every April, when the azaleas are in full bloom, the local area holds an 'Azalea Festival'. This April, I came to Nezu Shrine to see the azaleas, and upon entering, I found many tourists queuing to enter the garden area. After waiting for thirty minutes and paying 500 yen, I finally entered the garden area. There were a lot of visitors admiring the flowers. As I slowly walked along with the other visitors, taking pictures of the various scenes, I realized that although I arrived a bit late and some of the azaleas had already peaked, it still felt great.
