Atsuta Shrine
熱田神宮Aichi · Chubu
Founded, according to legend, in 113 AD, Atsuta Shrine is Japan's second-most revered Shinto shrine after Ise, set within a hushed forest of 1,000-year-old camphor trees in the middle of Nagoya. It enshrines the sacred sword Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, one of the three Imperial Regalia of Japan, making it a site of profound national significance.
