Taken today 4/27/2025 around 9:30AM (garden opening time) Lines get soooo long and it was crazy crowded just before opening. So better go by 9 or before and start queuing. We got there at 8:30 (didn’t know the gardens opened at 9:30) but we were in front of the line which was great cause we could get out sooner.
A 5min walk from Nezu Station
Entrance fee: ¥500 😬😬
Beautiful shrine during the azaleas 🌺 season (end of April beginning of may) but very overcrowded… Go there very early in the morning (when it opens). I also got the Goshuin (500¥ for the stamp) but they only gave the printed version out so I’m kind of disappointed 😞 There are a lot of food stalls on site so you can also eat there if you want. I didn’t pay to walk through the Azalea Garden and still got really nice pictures, plus the queue is way to long.
Picturesque area and peaceful experience. The worshipers we met were extremely pleasant and wanted us to enjoy the shrine pausing to allow us to take pictures. Worth 30 minutes to an hour of your time without a doubt.
No tickets needed. This is very much a place of worship for locals.
I went late in the day and it was very peaceful. This is a beautiful shrine with well maintained gardens.
If you want to walk through the Azalea Gardens, it's 500 yen.
Beautiful temple and garden, but the flowers on the bushes have only just started blooming. If you're interested in seeing them in full bloom, then don't go just yet.
