History
Since ancient times, it has been revered as a sacred mountain and a spiritual site. According to shrine tradition, in 709 CE (Wadō 2), it received a poem composed by Empress Genmei, and the shrine buildings were established. It later developed as a sacred site of syncretic Shinto-Buddhist worship under the influence of Buddhism and Shugendō. During the Edo period, following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism, it was renamed Akihabara Shrine, and the enshrined deity was designated as Kagutsuchi Ōkami (the Great Deity of Fire).
