Atsuta Shrine
The history of Atsuta Shrine dates back about 1900 years ago. It is said that when Yamato Takeru no Mikoto died in Mie Prefecture, the sacred sword was enshrined in Atsuta. Since then, the shrine has gathered wide-ranging faith as a place for praying for the peace and prosperity of the nation, as well as serving as a "spiritual home" for local residents.
Within the shrine grounds, there is a treasure house that displays many precious national treasures. Additionally, there are numerous other shrines including the main shrine, subsidiary shrines, and smaller shrines, where visitors can pray for various blessings. Particularly during the New Year, it becomes lively with many people visiting for the first prayer of the year, wishing for happiness and success in the new year.
The shrine is easily accessible, being close to Nagoya Station, allowing not only locals but also many visitors from afar to come. Atsuta Shrine is an important center of Japanese history, culture, and faith, and its presence is highly valued by the Japanese people.
