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.

Continue your journey to the shrine’s treasure hall to admire a world-class collection of authentic samurai swords, sacred daggers, and historic artifacts.
