Nezu Shrine is accessible from Ueno, not far from Tokyo Dome and is also a bus ride from the Skytree ( Toei Bus 26)
A beautiful slice of history and beauty – a little minature Kyoto. If you’re lucky enough, you will be there for a festival with the yatai (food stalls) and street food selection. The little tunnel of red tori gates is my favourite part.
Admission is free (when its Azalea season – mid to late spring- it is 200 yen to enter the Azalea area. Kids under school age are free.)

*Oh, and just an FYI, if you’re coming from Skytree, take Toei Bus 26 to Nezu Shrine.
