Suwa Shrine, Shinto shrine in Nagasaki, Japan

Suwa Shrine is a Shinto shrine on the slope of Mount Tamazono in northern Nagasaki, reached by a 277-step stone staircase. Its worship hall has a broad, dark, curved roof and an extended entrance porch with a curved canopy; dark wooden railings edge the steps, and a round white lantern hangs near the hall. Beside the steps stand a smaller covered structure with a green-tiled roof, a grey stone pedestal with a dark sculpture and a plaque bearing the character 願, and a stone post inscribed with vertical characters including 就 and 燈.

The shrine was originally built during Japan's Warring States period but was destroyed by Christians who saw it as a symbol of traditional beliefs, and was rebuilt in 1625 in an area called Matsumori. It was later relocated to its current hilltop location and survived the 1945 atomic bombing, becoming a symbol of Nagasaki's resilience.

Locals call the shrine "Osuwa-sama". Its festival, Nagasaki Kunchi, began in 1634 when the Maruyama and Yoriai districts presented dances; it is held on October 7–9. Since the 1980s, the Doll's Festival on March 3 features 20-year-old women in the shrine's antique kimono, with the two chosen as Emperor and Empress.

The shrine is reached by the Nagasaki Electric Tramway (lines 2–5) to Suwa-jinja stop, or by buses to Suwa-jinja-mae. From there, a 277-step stone staircase climbs the slope of Mount Tamazono. The grounds also contain Suwa Kindergarten and are next to Nagasaki Park, which has a small animal area and a tea house.

The shrine survived the atomic bombing of 9 August 1945, and residents noted that while Urakami Cathedral was destroyed, the Shinto shrine stood. Its priests later consecrated land and purified surviving structures during the rebuilding of Nagasaki.
