Nagoya | Atsuta Shrine, a historic temple with a thousand-year legacy.

✓ Atsuta Shrine A must-visit attraction in Nagoya, Atsuta Shrine boasts a history of over 1,900 years. It holds a prestigious status, second only to Ise Shrine and Heian Shrine, and is one of Japan's three major shrines. With its expansive grounds and towering ancient trees, it serves as a rare spiritual retreat within Nagoya's urban area. Atsuta Shrine enshrines deities such as Atsuta-no-Ōkami, Amaterasu-Ōmikami, and Yamato Takeru. It is renowned for housing one of the Imperial Regalia of Japan, the sacred "Kusanagi Sword," a treasure passed down through generations of the Imperial family. The shrine was deeply revered by Sengoku-era warlords, including Oda Nobunaga, who donated a Tsukiji wall after the war as a gesture of gratitude for victory. Getting to Atsuta Shrine from Nagoya city center is convenient. You can take the Meitetsu train to Jingū-mae Station and enter through the East Gate after a 3-minute walk. Alternatively, take the subway to Atsuta Shrine's Tenma-cho Station and walk 7 minutes to enter through the main gate.
