飽波神社, Shinto shrine in Japan
Akkinami Shrine sits in Fujieda surrounded by trees, with old buildings and animal-shaped statues throughout its grounds. The architecture and carved details show craftsmanship from earlier times and create a calm space to explore.
Founded in 318 CE, it stands as one of the oldest shrines in the Shida Plain region. Through the centuries locals maintained it, and during the Meiji period the main prayer hall was rebuilt in 1931.
Locals call this shrine "Akunamisan" and visit it to ask for protection and blessings for their families. The festivals and prayers here connect people to traditions that have shaped their community for generations.
The shrine is about 9 minutes by car from Fujieda Station and has free parking available. The grounds are easy to navigate and offer a good place for a quiet walk.
The shrine is registered in Japan's national cultural heritage list and connected to old travel paintings and artwork, showing its historical importance beyond local boundaries. These artistic records offer a rare view of how the shrine relates to regional art history.
