全国に千を超えるという秋葉神社の総本山で火防の願いを叶える古社です。調理場や焼き物の窯等火を使う職場で最もよく目にするお札が秋葉神社と思います。戦災を受け新たに建てられた金色の鳥居や境内にある火打ち石などが特徴的でした。山の頂上なので景色も素晴らしかったです。

ゆるキャンの聖地巡礼です。正直、あのアニメが無ければ、この神社を知ることは無かったかもしれません。人間の苦難を救った霊犬悉平太郎の伝説で有名な神社、祭神として祀られていませんが、境内奥の霊犬神社にて祀られているようです。また聖地巡礼地らしく、絵馬にリンちゃんやなでしこの絵を描いていく人もいます。一つ残念なことを言うと訪問時拝殿は修繕中で、全体を見ることは出来ませんでした。

Shizuoka Areas
With the giant Pacific Ocean to the south and the great Mount Fuji to the north, Shizuoka prefecture is blessed with some of the best views the country has to offer. The white sand beaches of the Izu Peninsula are a rare find on mainland Japan, neighbored by beautiful cliffs, tumbling hills, and natural hot springs. As Japan’s largest producer of green tea, the age-old tradition of tea drinking is ubiquitous in Shizuoka, from the miles of tea fields to the old tea houses hosting traditional tea ceremonies.
