Sacred Serenity in Nagoya | Atsuta Shrine & Shirotori Garden Tour
Discover the spiritual and cultural essence of Japan on this half-day tour to two of Nagoya’s most serene and historically significant locations—Atsuta Shrine and Shirotori Garden.
Begin your journey at Atsuta Shrine, a sacred Shinto site with over 1,900 years of history, enshrining one of Japan’s legendary imperial treasures, the sacred sword Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi. As you explore the tranquil shrine grounds, learn about Shinto beliefs, purification rituals, and how they continue to shape Japanese traditions and daily life.
Then, take a peaceful walk to Shirotori Garden, a beautifully designed Japanese garden that reflects the country’s deep reverence for nature. Here, you will experience the harmony of traditional garden aesthetics, where landscapes symbolically represent mountains, rivers, and seasonal transitions. For those interested, you may also choose to enjoy matcha green tea at the garden’s café, a refreshing way to appreciate the peaceful surroundings.
Guided by a knowledgeable local expert, this tour is perfect for travelers seeking a deeper understanding of Japanese spirituality, cultural traditions, and appreciation of nature.
