秋葉神社

Dedicated to the fire deity Akiba-san (火之迦具土神), this shrine serves as a guardian against fires and natural disasters in the ceramic-producing region of Seto. Local pottery artisans and residents regularly visit to pray for protection from kiln fires and workshop accidents, as well as for safe handling of the high-temperature processes essential to Seto's famous ceramic traditions. The shrine also attracts visitors seeking purification from negative influences and protection during times of change or upheaval.
