Atsuta Shrine is one of Shinto's most important shrines. It enshrines the Sun Goddess Amaterasu and stores the sacred sword, one of the three imperial regalia. Note, however, that the sword is never displayed to the public. Atsuta Shrine stands in a pleasant, wooded park in southern Nagoya. During the Meiji Period, the shrine was remodeled after the Ise Shrines in the purely Japanese Shinmei-zukuri architecture style. A pleasant thing to do after viewing the shrine buildings is to try Atsuta Shrine's version of the kishimen noodles, one of Nagoya's local specialities. A small restaurant can be found on the shrine grounds.

How to get there

From Nagoya Station, take the Meitetsu Nagoya Line to Jingu-mae Station from where the shrine can be reached in a 3 minute walk. Alternatively, the Jingu-nishi Station on the Subway Meijo Line is a 5 minute walk from the shrine. Finally, you can also take the JR Tokaido Line to Atsuta Station which is a 10 minute walk from the shrine. How to get to and around Nagoya
