Description

Step into an ancient sacred forest in Nagoya. Discover warlord Oda Nobunaga's victory wall, explore rare samurai katana collections, and uncover 2,000 years of Imperial sword legends.
Step into a tranquil 2,000-year-old sacred forest and uncover the intense samurai heritage of Atsuta Shrine, one of Japan's most revered Imperial Shinto sanctuaries. Designed for history enthusiasts, photo collectors, and culture seekers, this curated walking experience focuses on feudal warlord legends, sacred katana craftsmanship, and ancient spiritual traditions away from modern city noise.

Meet your expert local guide at JR Nagoya Station before taking a brief train ride together to Atsuta Shrine. Upon arrival, enter shaded woodland paths framed by giant, thousand-year-old camphor trees. Learn about the legendary Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, the sacred Imperial sword housed within the sanctuary grounds that has shaped Japanese mythology for millennia.

Discover the famous Nobunaga Wall, a massive mud-and-tile fortification gifted by the iconic warlord Oda Nobunaga following his miraculous victory at the Battle of Okehazama in 1560. Stand before this historic monument as your guide brings feudal military strategies and samurai devotion to life.

Continue your journey to the shrine’s treasure hall to admire a world-class collection of authentic samurai swords, sacred daggers, and historic artifacts. Conclude your tour with personalized local recommendations on where to savor authentic Nagoya Hitsumabushi (grilled eel) at historic eateries located right outside the shrine grounds.
