Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It is said to have been founded in 113. The enshrined deity is Atsuta no Okami (Amaterasu Omikami). The temple grounds are vast (about 4 times larger than Tokyo Dome). The main building built in the Meiji period was destroyed by fire during the war. The current building was rebuilt in 1955.
In the precincts, there is a 'treasure hall' that holds and displays items donated by the Imperial Family and the Tokugawa family, and a 'kusanagi hall' that holds and displays dedicated swords. Admission to each museum is 500 yen. Admission to the two museums is 800 yen. At the Kusanagi-kan, you can experience lifting swords and swords.

Atsuta Jingu, considered one of the most important shrines in Japan, is said to have been founded about 1,900 years ago and is located in a forest in the city center. It is said that the Kusanagi sword, one of the three sacred weapons of the Japanese imperial family, is stored in Atsuta Jingu, but since it is a very precious treasure, we were not able to see the actual item.
Because it is an important shrine, many domestic and foreign tourists come here, so if you visit early in the morning, you can explore the entire shrine in a quiet atmosphere.
Please note that photography is not allowed inside the main palace of Atsuta Jingu.

Shrine is conveniently located across from subway station. The grounds are spacious and wooded. Although their were lots of visitors, one did not feel crowded. A food area offered good, relatively inexpensive choices at an outdoor seated pavilion.

It was raining quite heavily when we arrived here, plus we were under a time crunch, so didn't get to do/see as much as we wanted. We did see, however, the small museum on site and the beautiful and austere shrine, which - like much of Nagoya - was burned to the ground during WWII and was subsequently rebuilt. I found it to be a really moving place, very different in sentiment and style from many of the other shrines we visited. Its also surrounded by a stunning forest and gardens. I found it to be a really peaceful, humbling and holy place.

Atsuta Shrine is the top shrine in Aichi Prefecture. It is also famous as a power spot and attracts many visitors. There are many large cedar trees and hidden power spots within the shrine, so be sure to check them out. The Miya Kishimen restaurant is also famous, so if you visit, be sure to stop by to try it.

It's quite spacious, but I could only go as far as the main hall.
I couldn't go inside. As expected, the atmosphere is different when you go inside a shrine.
You can relax there.
I got there by train, but it wasn't far and was convenient.

One of the Three Sacred Treasures is the Kusanagi Sword. The others are the Yata no Kagami Mirror in the Inner Shrine of Ise Jingu, and the Yasakani no Magatama Jewel in the Sword and Seal Room of the Imperial Palace. However, it is forbidden to view the Three Sacred Treasures directly. Not even the Emperor or the chief priest of Atsuta Shrine, where it is dedicated, are allowed to see the real thing. As a result, no one knows what the Kusanagi Sword actually looks like, and it has not been revealed to the public.

As soon as you leave Atsuta-Jingu-Nishi Station on the Meijo Subway Line, the deep green forest of Atsuta Shrine appears before you. After walking for a while, you enter through the West Gate, where a large wooden torii gate stands. Normally you would enter through the Main Gate (South Gate), but since it was late, we entered through the West Gate.
First you'll be greeted by a large camphor tree. Its thick trunk and moss-covered appearance give you a sense of its long history.
You walk along the approach to the shrine, looking at boards that list the shrine's history.
You pay your respects at the main shrine and are overwhelmed by its vastness and sacred atmosphere.

I came all the way to Nagoya and decided to visit this shrine for the first time in a while. As Shichi-Go-San is coming up soon, the grounds were crowded with families everywhere. I also saw families visiting the shrine for a baby's first visit.
I looked for a place to eat lunch, but there were long lines everywhere.

This shrine enshrines one of the Three Sacred Treasures, the Kusanagi Sword.
The site covers an area of 20,000 tsubo (approx. 20,000 m2), and the shrine gardens are a grove of large trees. There are auxiliary shrines and sub-shrines both within and outside the grounds, and I was a little disappointed that I wasn't able to visit the shrines outside the grounds.
We also visited the Treasure Museum and Kusanagi Hall, and the total time spent was about 2 hours.
This was my first trip to Nagoya, and in fact, this was the only place I wanted to go.
