In Nagoya, there is one of the most remarkable religious attractions is Atsuta Shrine , a major Shinto temple in the city. There are a lot of meaningful artifacts and relics of the Emperor’s family, so the visit of the temple can supersede the walk along a museum. The main relict of the temple is the ancient sword Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi that is connected with many beautiful myths and legends. According to one of them, this wonderful weapon belonged to god Susanoo and then to hero Yamato Takeru that was famous for his deeds. The Shinto temple is distinguished by its impressive size.
