Atsuta Jingu is one of the most sacred and important shrines in Japan, housing the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi (Grass-Cutting Sword), one of the Three Imperial Regalia that symbolize the legitimacy of the Japanese emperor. The shrine holds a unique position in Japanese mythology as the spiritual home of this legendary weapon. According to tradition, the shrine was established when Miyasuhime-no-Mikoto, the wife of the legendary hero Yamato Takeru, enshrined the Kusanagi sword at this location after his death. The sword had been obtained by Susanoo from the eight-headed serpent Yamata-no-Orochi and passed down through the divine lineage. Atsuta's historical significance extends beyond mythology. In 1560, the young warlord Oda Nobunaga prayed here before his famous upset victory at the Battle of Okehazama, launching him toward national prominence. With over 7 million annual visitors, Atsuta remains central to the spiritual life of the Nagoya region. The shrine's grounds cover 19 hectares of dense forest in the heart of urban Nagoya, creating a sacred oasis.
