History
Since ancient times, it has been revered as a sacred mountain and spiritual peak. According to shrine tradition, in the second year of the Wado era (709 CE), Empress Genmei composed a poem, leading to the construction of the shrine buildings. Until the Edo period, it developed as a sacred mountain where Shinto and Buddhist practices coexisted, with Akihabara Kengensha Shrine and Akihabara-ji Temple located within the same precincts. During the Meiji era, following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism, the Ministry of Religion ordered the shrine to be renamed Akihabara Shrine, and the enshrined deity was designated as Kagutsuchi-odaijin (the Great Deity of Fire).
