Atsuta Jingu

Atsuta Jingu

Atsuta Shrine is one of the most important shrines in Shintoism. The shrine was founded to house the legendary sword, Kusanagi no Tsurugi—one of the three imperial regalia along with the sacred mirror at Ise Jingu and the sacred jewel at the Imperial Palace. Approximately 9 million people visit this shrine annually to view the 4,000 artifacts which have been donated to the shrine by the Imperial Family, shoguns, feudal lords, and common persons. 

The shrine complex can be accessed any time of day and admission is free of charge (although the shrine itself will be closed at night). Please note that photography, eating, drinking, and the use of mobile phones are prohibited within the temple grounds, particularly within the sacred spaces such as the fenced area within the shrine.
