During my trip to Aichi, I visited Akibayama Entsuji Temple in Atsuta Ward, Nagoya City. Akibayama Entsuji Temple is said to have been founded by Kobo Daishi Kukai in 810, and houses the Eleven-Headed Kannon Bodhisattva. It is said to be the oldest and only sacred place in Japan where Akiba Daigongen appears, and Akiba Shrine is said to be the shrine where Akiba Daigongen, who saved Emperor Yamato Takeru from a fire and protected the peace of our country, is enshrined within the grounds of Atsuta Shrine, where the Kusanagi sword was presented about 1,800 years ago. There are many flags with the word "Akiba Shrine" written on them on the large grounds, so you can easily find it even from afar. It was a wonderful temple with a large scale. It's worth seeing!
