What other travelers are saying about Atsuta-Jingu Shrine

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.

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.

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.

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.

One of the most sacred shrines in Japan. Set in a beautiful forest, it is home to the legendary Kusanagi sword. The sword is so sacred, you're not even allowed to see the building it's stored in. Still, the grounds around the main shrine are very beautiful and worth exploring As this is a very sacred place, please note you're not allowed to take pictures near the main shrine.
