Akitsu-jinja, Shinto shrine in Japan

Akitsu-jinja is a Shinto shrine in Akitsucho, Higashimurayama, Tokyo, dedicated to Yamato Takeru no Mikoto. Its current honden (main hall) was rebuilt in 1822, at the end of the Edo period, and is designated a tangible cultural property by Higashimurayama City. The shrine also houses a Fudo Myoo statue made in the early Edo period, known as the "Fudo of Akitsu."

The founding date is unknown. In the early Edo period the shrine housed a Fudō Myōō statue made then and was known as "Akitsu no Fudō". The present honden was rebuilt in 1822, late in the Edo period. With the Meiji-era separation of Shinto and Buddhism, the enshrined deity was changed to Yamato Takeru no Mikoto and the shrine took its current name.

The shrine was known as "Akitsu no Fudō" because a Fudō Myōō statue made in the early Edo period was kept here. With the Meiji-era separation of Shinto and Buddhism, the enshrined deity was changed to Yamato Takeru no Mikoto and the shrine took its present name.

The shrine stands at 5-27-1 Akitsucho, Higashimurayama, a short walk from Akitsu Station on the Seibu Ikebukuro line. The grounds are compact, so the main hall and the small subordinate structures can be seen in a few minutes. Visitors should keep their voices low and avoid photographing worshippers at prayer.

The shrine's name changed after the Meiji Restoration's separation of Buddhism and Shinto: its deity was reassigned to Yamato Takeru and it took the name Akitsu-jinja. Before that it housed a Fudo Myoo statue made in the early Edo period and was known as "Akitsu no Fudo".
