What other travelers are saying about Atsuta-Jingu Shrine
Probably one of the oldest places I have ever visited in my life. Was an experience to feel how old this place is and the significance this place is to Japanese 🇯🇵 history and spirituality.
It’s free to come in and it is close to the subway station. Great to see trees that are thousands of years old. Make sure to check out the Nobugana wall as well. It is said that this is where they house the sacred sword Kusanagi, one of the three sacred treasures of Japan. You be the judge of it as nobody can actually see these treasures and they are locked up away not to be seen.
A famous shrine in Nagoya. When I came to visit in a summer holiday, so many people came here to pray. The goshuin costs ¥300 and the whole complex has 5 different stamps. Very convenient to go to from public transportation.
Very pretty shrine park. We stayed for about 45 minutes and couldn't take it the whole place, but the main shrine is very pretty. It feels like a portal into the forest from the city. However there are many people around no matter the time of day, so you still sadly feel a sense of the urban city.
Tranquil and respectable where locals and tourists come to admire the shrine majestic quiescence and peace; where prayers are made and hopes rekindled. Historical and worth a visit from the Nagoya city centre.
Treat this venue as a relaxing walk in serene and aged forestry, not really a 'tourist attraction'. The provision of the opportunity to invest in spiritual release and/or contact adds to the experience for those invested.
