Aketake Inari Shrine & Youshin Fudo Shrine

Hidden in the depths of Fukakasa, these two shrines—Aketake Inari and Youshin Fudo—represent a unique convergence of divergent spiritual forces. Inari and Fudo—commerce and practice, this world and the next—seemingly opposite energies achieve perfect harmony. One senses here that human aspiration and the path to enlightenment are not contradictory but complementary. The mountainous Fukakasa landscape itself nourishes these dual blessings.
