Glossary of Shinto

Atsuta Shrine (熱田神宮, Atsuta-jingū) is a Shinto shrine traditionally believed to have been established during the reign of Emperor Keikō (71-130) located in Atsuta-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture in Japan.[1] The shrine is familiarly known as Atsuta-Sama (Venerable Atsuta) or simply as Miya (the Shrine). Since ancient times, it has been especially revered, ranking with the Grand Shrine of Ise.[2]

The 200,000-square-metre (2,200,000 sq ft) shrine complex draws over 9 million visitors annually.[2]
