Another tiny foxy side shrine of Shishiki Jinja. This one doesn't even have a name, so I can only assume it's an Inari shrine by the presence of the two tiny porcelain foxes inside.

A tiny foxy side shrine of the big Shishiki Jinja (志式神社 "Planned Ceremony Shrine"), which is located some distance up the peninsula by means of which Shikanoshima is tethered. A pair of tiny porcelain foxes have taken up residence in this humble wooden abode.

A tiny fox shrine within Kodake Jinja (小嶽神社 "Little Peak Shrine") that is located near the tip of the long peninsula from which the causeway to Shikanoshima extends. The eponymous Kodake is just nearby, and peaks at a whopping 21m above sea level. Anyway, four tiny porcelain foxes make their home in this shrine, which is probably an Inari shrine. Also as a note if you want to visit, the shrine is hidden behind the school, and there's a little driveway next to the school that leads up to its entrance.

Located not far from Hiroten Jinja, I find this tiny fox shrine sitting in the back of a private garden, partially hidden behind some bushes, and in front of a fortified hill slope. The two tiny porcelain foxes probably make this an Inari shrine, but I can't say for sure.

The first fox shrine that I should find on my cycling tour to Shikanoshima (志賀島 "Planned Joy Island"), which is a tethered island connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway, which is how I was able to get there by bike. This tiny stone shrine is a side shrine of Hiroten Jinja (弘天神社 "Wide Heavens Shrine"), which in turn is a branch shrine of Shikaumi Jinja (志賀海神社 "Planned Joy Ocean Shrine"), the biggest shrine of the island, located at the southeastern tip. A pair of tiny porcelain foxes have taken shelter in this humble stone abode.

The final fox shrine that I should find on today's tour. This one is a side shrine of the large Umi Hachimangu (宇美八幡宮 "Beautiful Eaves Hachiman Hall"), which is located in the Eponymous town of Umi. Interestingly, this is where I run into a Matsuri which just happens to be held here today, complete with stalls and everything. The Inari Shrine here features a pair of life-sized stone foxes to watch over it.
