Akiba Jinja

Enshrined in old Furumachiōri, this shrine is deeply revered for protecting against fire. Since the Edo period, we have watched this place where countless fires have been prevented through sacred oath. Fire both destroys and brings warmth. The enshrined deity understands both aspects. Visitors come with fire-like passion while seeking protection from fire's dangers. Respect fire, live with fire—this spirit is the divine blessing of this shrine.
