 Tips about Nezu Shrine

Nezu Shrine is a beautiful place to visit, especially during the azalea season in late April to early May, but it can get overcrowded, so it's best to arrive early to avoid long queues. Visitors should expect a peaceful and picturesque experience, interacting with pleasant worshipers. Avoid going before the azaleas are in full bloom if you want to see them at their best.

Recommendations:
- What to do: Explore the beautiful shrine and gardens, visit the Azalea Garden (with a 500 yen fee) during blooming season, interact with worshipers.
- What to eat: Enjoy the food stalls on-site for a snack or meal.
- What to avoid: Going when the azaleas are not in full bloom if you want to see them at their peak.
- Tips: Arrive early to avoid crowds, consider getting a Goshuin stamp (500 yen) for a souvenir, respect the peaceful atmosphere as it is primarily a place of worship for locals.
