Nagoya Station → Atsuta Shrine with Aya

Atsuta Shrine is home to Kusanagi, the legendary sword and one of Japan's three sacred treasures. It is only one train ride from Nagoya Station.

Step by step

1. 1

   Meitetsu Nagoya, Platform 4

   Go to Platform 4. Every train from Platform 4 stops at Jingu-mae (NH33), so take the first one that comes.

   Don't get caught: Platform 3 is for reserved-seat cars and needs an extra μ-Ticket. For Jingu-mae, Platform 4 is all you need.
2. 2

   Ride to Jingu-mae (¥250, 7 min)

   Express trains take 7 minutes; local trains take 8. The fare is the same with a paper ticket or an IC card.

3. 3

   Walk about 3 minutes

   From Jingu-mae Station, Atsuta Shrine is about a 3-minute walk.
