Strolling Through the Serene Nezu Shrine

Entering Nezu Shrine feels like stepping into a sanctuary far removed from the mundane world. Rows of vermilion torii gates stretch out under the sunlight, resembling a gallery of intertwined light and shadow. Your steps naturally become lighter, fearing to disturb the tranquility. A gentle breeze rustles the leaves between the torii gates, and as you delve deeper, it feels as if the flow of time gradually comes to a halt. The shrine's courtyard is elegantly arranged, with babbling streams and towering ancient trees. The old main hall stands quietly in the center, its vermilion and gold decorations shimmering in the afternoon sun. In early spring, azaleas bloom quietly, their vibrant colors adorning the lush green garden, both gentle and lively. As I prayed, I closed my eyes, hearing the wind echo through history, feeling an intangible sense of solace. Walking towards the exit, I looked back to see the torii gates blending with nature, like the lingering notes of a dream. Nezu Shrine, with its serenity and antiquity, makes one instantly forget the city's hustle and bustle, leaving only a sense of peace and reverence in the heart.
