Atsuta-ku

Atsuta-ku is a ward in central Nagoya and is served by several major transportation lines that connect it to other parts of the city. The ward spans several kilometers and functions today as an important transportation hub and residential area.

The ward was established in 1937 as an independent administrative unit when it separated from a neighboring area and became one of sixteen divisions in Nagoya. This reorganization shaped its identity and development as a separate administrative entity.

Atsuta Shrine stands at the heart of the ward and draws visitors throughout the year who come to experience its religious importance. People visit for prayers, celebrations, and to connect with traditions that have shaped this place for centuries.

The area is well connected by public transportation, including subway, trains, and other connections that make navigation and exploration easy. The street layout is straightforward and visitors can find their way around easily.

A major railroad equipment manufacturer operates its headquarters in this ward and has shaped its industrial past. This connection to railway technology has been part of the local economy for many decades.
