8-hour tour of Atsuta Shrine, Hitsumabushi lunch and Osu shopping street「Now accepting reservations」
Atsuta Shrine
Atsuta Shrine is a large shrine that seems to be located in the middle of a forest, with a large camphor tree over 1,000 years old providing shade within its grounds of approximately 20,000 sq. m.
The Treasure Museum on the premises houses and exhibits over 6,000 votive items donated by the Imperial Family and other worshippers from around the country, which tell the history of worship. In addition, Kusanagi Hall, a treasure trove of swords, exhibits around 450 famous swords that have been donated to the shrine. Over 170 of these are registered as designated cultural properties by the nation and Aichi Prefecture.
Hitsumabushi
We will have a lunch of “Hitsumabushi” at the specialty restaurant that created the famous Nagoya dish. “Hitsumabushi” is a Nagoya specialty dish of finely chopped grilled eel served on top of rice. It is characterized by the fact that eel can be enjoyed in a variety of ways by adding condiments and broth. It is now loved by many people, including Nagoya residents and visitors from overseas. A German gourmet woman praised “Hitsumabushi” as the best in the world, having traveled all over the world.
Osu Shopping Street
The town of Osu is lined with a wide variety of shops, from electronics stores to second-hand clothing stores and gourmet food. It accepts and incorporates a wide range of cultures, from underground to mainstream, regardless of age, gender or nationality. This “hodgepodge” atmosphere is one of the great attractions of Osu. You’ll lose track of time as you wander around the restaurants and general stores that match your tastes.
