Visitors to the shrine, including those who practice the conventional New Year visit, now count nine million annually. The enshrined deity Atsuta-no-Ookami is Amaterasu-Oomikami as represented by the sacred sword Kusanagi-no-tsurugi, one of the three sacred treasures that symbolize the Imperial throne. The tradition says that this great god, by the divine decree of the god of creation Amatsu-mioya-no-Mikoto (Heavenly-Father-God), manifested for the first time the way of gods to this world and blessed mankind with the virtue of love. Also enshrined are the "Five Great Gods of Atsuta", all of whom are mythologically connected with the sacred sword. Among them, are Takeinadane-no-Mikoto and Miyasuhime-no-Mikoto, first parents of Owari-Uji, indigenous people of Nagoya and its neighboring districts. These two gods are said to have shown many divine virtues in accordance with teaching of Amaterasu-Oomikami. History Atsuta Jingu was originally founded about 1900 years ago, when the sacred sword Kusanagi-no-tsurugi, one of the Imperial symbols, was enshrined. Atsuta was chosen as the site for the shrine by Miyasuhime-no-Mikoto, daughter of Owari-no-kuni-no-miyatsuko and wife of the then Prince Yamatotakeru-no-Mikoto, who had died leaving the sword in Hikami. Ever since Atsuta Jingu has been specially revered by people, ranking second only to the Great Shrine of Ise. The shrine has not only enjoyed special privileges of the high official ranks of Myojintaisha and Chokusaisha, but it has also won popularity among people, who call the shrine by the familiar name of Miya (the Shrine). Moreover, the geographical character of the fertile Owari Plain has fostered a faith in Atsuta Jingu as protector of agriculture. This can be testified by the fact that many of the festivals and divine services show close connection with popular life centering around agricultural industry. Here lies the characteristic feature of this shrine. The shrine buildings were maintained by the effort of devout generals of successive times, such as the Shoguns of Muromachi and Edo Shogunates, Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, and the Tokugawas, ruling family of Owari district. In 1893 the shrine was remodeled into Shinmei-zukuri structure, the same style of building as the Great Shrine of Ise. On the occasion of Sengu celebration in 1935 the shrine buildings as well as other facilities were completely rearranged and improved so that it came to assume the grandeur true to the Great Shrine of Atsuta. During the World War 2, however, more of its buildings were destroyed by fire. After the war the reconstruction was begun by the combined effort of all devout worshippers of the shrine all over the country. The main buildings were completed in 1955 to enable Hondensenzasai to be celebrated there. The remaining construction was steadily under way to perfect the shrine as a great spiritual center equipped with modern facilities for cultural activities as well. https://www.atsutajingu.or.jp/en/intro/ 熱田神宮（あつたじんぐう）は、愛知県名古屋市熱田区神宮にある神社。式内社（名神大社）、尾張国三宮。旧社格は官幣大社で、現在は神社本庁の別表神社。宮中の四方拝で遥拝される一社。神紋は「五七桐竹紋」。 概要 南鳥居と初詣の人波 （2014年（平成26年）1月） 名古屋市南部の熱田台地の南端に鎮座する。古くは伊勢湾に突出した岬上に位置していたが、周辺の干拓が進んだ現在はその面影は見られない。 三種の神器の1つである草薙剣（くさなぎのつるぎ）を祀る神社として知られる。なおこの剣は、鎮座の後も、盗難に遭ったり（「草薙剣盗難事件」を参照）、形代が壇ノ浦の戦いで遺失するなどの受難にみまわれている（「天叢雲剣」を参照）。諸説あるものの、草薙神剣の創祀は景行天皇43年、熱田社の創建は仲哀天皇元年[注 1]あるいは646年（大化2年）[注 2]と伝わる。古くは尾張国（現愛知県西部地方）における地方大社として存在感を示し、中世以降は政治的・経済的に急速に台頭して、「日本第三之鎮守」（伊勢神宮、石清水八幡宮に継ぐとする意）（『熱田明神講式』）、「伊勢神宮に亞（つ）ぐ御由緒の尊い大社」（『熱田神宮略記』）とされるほどの国家的な崇拝を受けるに至る[7]。 建物は伊勢神宮と同じ神明造であるが、1893年（明治26年）までは尾張造と呼ばれる独特の建築様式だった（境外摂社の氷上姉子神社に尾張造の建築様式が残っている）[要出典]。 初詣には毎年200万人以上が訪れる。 https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%86%...
