Nagoya Trip Overview
Nagoya Castle is a popular site, but for history lovers, we also recommend Atsuta Jingu. About 5 mins by train from Nagoya station, Atsuta Jingu is located in a vast precinct away from the city. Its history goes back to 1900 years. It is a historical Jingu made from Japanese myth and legend of the Emperor’s family.
