founded by Nezu Kaichiroo 根津嘉一郎（ねずかいちろう）
The Nezu Museum (根津美術館, Nezu bijutsukan, formerly: The Nezu Institute of Fine Arts), located in the Minato district of Tokyo, Japan, houses the private collection of
Nezu Kaichirō (1860–1940).
The museum opened to the public in 1940 and escaped the destruction suffered by the estate property in the bombing of May 1945. Closed due to large-scale renovation and renewal from 2006 onwards, it re-opened in fall 2009 with a completely new museum building by the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma.
Included in the collection are a pair of Edo period folding-screens of Irises by Ogata Kōrin. It also includes other paintings of renown, calligraphy, sculpture, ceramics, textiles and archaeological materials, as well as objects in lacquer, metal, and wood. The collection also consists of Chinese bronzes of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
The Nezu Museum is also known for its vast, Japanese-style garden.

Nezu Jinja 根津神社 Nezu Shrine
東京都文京区根津1-28-9
quote
Legend has it
that this old shrine was built by ヤマトタケル Yamato Takeru approximately 1,900 years ago. The shrine pavilions we see today were constructed under the orders of Tsunayoshi Tokugawa (1646-1709), the fifth Shogun, in 1706. All of the pavilions including the Honden, Heiden, Haiden, Karamon, Sukibei, and Romon remain untouched and have been designated as the country's important cultural assets.
On the grounds are a number of historic sites related to cultural figures who lived in the neighborhood such as the "Bungo Ikoi-no-Ishi 憩いの石", a rock which we are told that such writers as Soseki Natsume (1867-1916) and Ogai Mori (1862-1922) sat on to think of ideas for their novels. This shrine became widely known after many great literary figures of modern times including Natsume and Mori mentioned its name in their works.
Nezu Jinja is also famous for its 3,000 azaleas of approximately 50 different species that reach full bloom every year from mid-April to the end of the month.
