点评:Atsuta Jingū (Atsuta Shrine) is an important Shinto shrine in Nagoya, Japan. It was founded roughly 1,900 years ago when the sacred sword Kusanagi‑no‑Tsurugi—one of the Three Imperial Regalia—was enshrined here. Although the sword is housed at Atsuta Jingū, it is never displayed to the public. If I’m honest, I struggled to navigate the grounds because they were huge, and all signs and information placards were only in Japanese. The shrine sits within a forest-like setting filled with greenery and tall trees. It was very busy, mostly with locals, and I saw only a handful of foreign visitors. I understand that Nagoya doesn’t receive as many international tourists as other cities and that this is a deeply religious site, but clearer guidance for foreign visitors would be helpful. I ended up following the locals and trying to see as much as I could.
翻译:热田神宫是日本名古屋一座重要的神社。它始建于约1900年前,当时供奉着日本皇室三神器之一的圣剑草薙剑。虽然这把剑供奉在热田神宫,但从未对外展出。说实话,由于神社面积巨大,而且所有指示牌和信息牌都只有日语,我费了好大劲才找到路。神社坐落在绿树成荫、宛如森林般的环境中。神社里人很多,大多是当地人,我只看到寥寥几个外国游客。我知道名古屋的国际游客不如其他城市那么多,而且这里也是一个宗教氛围浓厚的地方,但如果能为外国游客提供更清晰的指引就更好了。最后,我只能跟着当地人,尽可能多地参观。
