Last weekend I went to Yushima Tenman-gū Shrine 湯島天満宮 which is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the Tenjin the Kami of Learning.
The shrine is located just west of the big busy bustling Ueno district. I am still always shocked to find such peace and beauty in the midst of the crazy city.

Yushima is a beautiful shrine and I may just go back there to see the plum blossoms when they are in full bloom. This is definitely one of my recommended places to visit in Tokyo.
