Nagoya Shrine, Shinto shrine in Aichi Prefecture, Japan

Nagoya Shrine is a Shinto shrine in Marunouchi, Naka Ward, Nagoya. A large stone torii gate with two cylindrical pillars and a lighter grey band on the lower crossbeam stands at the entrance. Inside, a dark timber worship hall with a sloped roof and a row of white paper lanterns marked with red characters faces a stone-paved path, with a weathered stone guardian lion to the right.

Founded in 911 by imperial order, the shrine was originally a Tennōsha dedicated to Gozu Tennō. In 1532 it burned during Oda Nobuhide's capture of Nagoya Castle and was rebuilt by him in 1540. In 1610, when Tokugawa Ieyasu built Nagoya Castle, a divination deemed the shrine immovable, so it stayed as the castle's guardian. It was relocated to its present site in 1876 and renamed Nagoya Shrine in 1899.

The shrine's name comes from Nagoya Castle, which stood here until 1610; the deity Susanoo was installed after the Meiji separation of Buddhism and Shinto in the 1870s. The Tenno Festival on 15–16 July still sends a portable shrine to Wakamiya Hachimangu, and one festival float is displayed in the grounds.

The shrine is accessible on foot with an open entrance for visitors. It is well-marked and can be visited freely during daytime hours.

In 1610, when Tokugawa Ieyasu built Nagoya Castle on the site of Nagoya Castle, a lottery decided the shrine's fate: it was told not to move, while Hachioji Shrine went to Shimizu and Wakamiya Hachimangu to Sakae. The shrine stayed as the castle's guardian, facing the main gate of the Second Compound.
