Nagano Shrine

Nagono Shrine was originally enshrined in the current Marunouchi area of Naka Ward in the 11th year of the Enki era (911). It served as the guardian deity of the castle and was revered as the ancestral God of Nagoya. With the abolition of feudal domains, it was moved to its current location in the 9th year of the Meiji era.
On July 15th and 16th, the shrine holds a grand festival during which portable shrines and festival floats parade through the streets. Nowadays, both Nagono Shrine and Toshogu Shrine are famous for cherry blossoms in the area.
