Nezu Shrine

Nezu Shrine

According to its legend, Nezu Shrine's history dates back to the 1st century, some 1,900 years ago, which makes it one of the oldest shrine not only in Tokyo, but also in Japan. According to its legend, Nezu Shrine was founded approximately 1,900 years ago. The current buildings were structured in 1706 by the order of Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, the 5th shogun of Tokugawa Shogunate and they are now designated as a nationally important cultural property. The shrine is also known as one of the most beautiful shrines in Tokyo. You will find numbers of photogenic sights including scarlet-colored Torii-gates, majestic tower gates, and beautiful Japanese gardens. While many old and historic buildings were lost by earthquakes, fires and wars that took place in Tokyo, this miraculously-survived shrine retains the good-old atmosphere of the Edo period.

My wife and I cannot say enough great things about Tokyo Walking Tours! We have had such amazing experiences that we have now done 5 separate tours with the company. Their tours are ideal for both first time visitors to Japan or someone looking to see sights outside of the major tourist spots. Each guide is extremely knowledgeable and kind. We have done tours with other companies and what sets Tokyo Walking Tours apart is the professionalism and ability to customize. The itinerary serves a guideline vs. something strict to stick to. You never feel rushed and can experience a part of the tour as long as you would like. Thank you so much for all the amazing experiences Tokyo Walking Tours!
