Atsuta Shrine (熱田神宮, Atsuta Jingū)

#2024wish This is one of Shinto's most important shrines. It enshrines the Sun Goddess Amaterasu and stores the sacred sword Kusanagi, which is 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's buildings was remodeled after the Ise Shrines in the purely Japanese Shinmei-zukuri architecture style. I want to go back in Nagoya in 2024.
