What other travelers are saying about Atsuta-Jingu Shrine
Legend has it. The sword of the God Emperor is sealed here. It symbols the right to the Japanese throne and imperial bloodline. Despite of that, it is a highly recommended power spot by the locals. The dense forest brings you peace within the busy city.
A beautiful shrine located a ride away from Sakae area in front of Mitsukoshi. We visited it on a holiday- Japan Culture Day. Small kids dressed up in traditional costumes. There were a lot of people but not that crowded. The shrine is surrounded with trees and lush foliage. It also has a small Ginko corridor where family photos were taken. Small food stalls lined up on the path leading to the shrine. They gave the place a festive vibe.

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.
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.
