Akiha Inari Jinja

Gifu

A shrine combining the worship of Inari, the rice and prosperity deity, with Akiha Daigongen, a Buddhist-influenced fire prevention deity. This dual dedication reflects the syncretic religious practices common in Japanese spirituality, where Shinto and Buddhist elements merged to address both agricultural prosperity and fire safety concerns.
