History
Originally established through the invitation by the Akiu clan, it is said that Taira no Morifusa brought the divine spirits of Suwa from Shinshu, divined a sacred site, and enshrined them there. In 1909 (Meiji 42), neighboring shrines were merged into this one, and the shrine's name was changed from Suwa Shrine to Akiu Shrine.

What visitors say
Known as the god of victory, the shrine grounds feature many banners donated by individuals and groups. The grounds are well-maintained, offering a quiet atmosphere rich in nature, highlighted by large ginkgo trees that turn golden in autumn. The shrine office offers Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) and Omamori (protective amulets). The Temizuya (water purification pavilion) and restrooms have been recently renovated.
