Nezu Jinja Shrine Three Gates 根津神社の三門

Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。

Nezu Jinja shrine, which is said to have been founded 1,900 years ago (!), is currently known as a place for Shinto wedding ceremonies. I thought of having mine there (although I'm officially a Buddhist and actually an atheist), but gave it up. The shrine is a bit far from where I used to live. The pictures below are of one building and three gates of this famous shrine.

Karamon Chinese gate

Roden tower gate

Torii main gate

The shrine has at least five gates and inside it is very quiet and serene, a good place to take a walk. (Click here for a map of the shrine although it's only available in Japanese.) 

Nezu Jinja shrine is about 20 minute walk from Yushima Tenmangu shrine, which currently is holding its annual plum festival (from February 8 to March 8 this year). About 20 minute walk between the two shrines is also enjoyable!

根津神社です。昔「結婚式をここで」と思って来たことは覚えていたのですが、記憶より広くてきれいでした。湯島神社からは1.8km。お散歩に丁度いいです。ちなみにこの日、調子に乗って2万歩歩き、翌日大変でした🤣。。。
