Treasure Trove of Swords Kusanagi-kan, Sword museum at Atsuta Shrine in Nagoya, Japan
The Kusanagi-kan museum displays 450 Japanese swords in glass cases, including national treasures and important cultural artifacts from various historical periods.

The exhibition halls present swords from major crafting regions like Yamashiro, Yamato, Sagami, Bizen, Chikuzen, Mino, and Owari, representing distinct regional techniques.
Located three minutes from Jingu-mae Station, the museum opens daily from 9:00 to 16:30 with admission fees of 500 yen for adults and 200 yen for students.
