A small fox shrine in the middle of a housing block. Several dozen tiny porcelain foxes reside within, and on the outside, there's a pair of life-sized stone foxes, the left of which has a kit, thus bringing the vixen side count to 17:35.

This parking lot is reserved for an Inari Shrine (and possibly a small car). Eight tiny foxes watch over this tiny stone shrine. Four of them are the typical tiny white porcelain foxes. The other four are more peculiar: They seem to be made out of metal or highly polished stone.

Fox Count: 2
First Visit: 19-Jan-2019
Location: Numazu
Address: 1147-1 Shimogawaracho, Numazu, Shizuoka 410-0841
Coordinates: 35.09032,138.85750

A small side shrine of Myoukakuji (妙覚寺 "Mysterious Learning Temple"). It's probably an Inari shrine, but I'm not sure. A pair of life-sized stone foxes watch over this one.

559 ~ Shintama Inari Jinja

 

Japanese Name: 新玉稲荷神社 
Romanized Reading: Shintama Inari Jinja
English Translation: New Jewel Inari Shrine
Size: Medium
Deity: Inari 
Fox Count: 3
First Visit: 19-Jan-2019
Location: Numazu
Address: 1169 Shimogawaracho, Numazu, Shizuoka 410-0841
Coordinates: 35.08968,138.85868

The first fox shrine that I should find in Numazu. This one features a pair of life-sized fox statues, the left of which features a kit, and the right of which is explicitly depicted as male, making this a very strong point for my hypothesis that the kits signify the vixen among the pair. So this brings the vixen side count to 16:35.

The final fox shrine that I should find in the Toyokawa/Toyohashi area. This one is a side shrine of Shinmeisha (神明社  "God's Radiacne Shrine"), and is located in a courtyard, surrounded by medium-big buildings. A pair of life-szied stone foxes watches over this one.

Having hiked all the way over to Toyohashi, I come across this tiny side shrine of Toyoasa Jinja (豊麻神社 "Bountiful Hemp Shrine"). A single slightly smaller-than-life stone fox hides within.
