4.5★★★★★★★★★★23.6K reviews
One of the most important Shinto shrines in Japan stands in a forest of ancient camphor trees in southern Nagoya. It is said to enshrine the Kusanagi sword, one of the three imperial regalia — never shown to anyone. The quiet paths, the treasure hall and the local kishimen noodle stand inside the grounds make it a peaceful half-day.
Good to know
- Its history is traced back about 1,900 years.
- Some of its camphor trees are over 1,000 years old.
- Millions of people visit every year, especially during the first days of January.
