A side shrine of the big Akagi Jinja, not far from the Kagurazaka Station (神楽坂駅 "Dance-for-the -Gods Hill Station") in Shinuku, and the final fox shrine I should find on my stray today. Apparently, I was so taken by the foxes here that I completely forgot to take a picture of the shrine itself. But I assure you it's there. They don't have fox statues standing around without them being at least loosely associated with a shrine (or rarely a temple) in Japan. Apparently that's a rule.
This one has a vixen nursing her kit on the right side, which brings the vixen side count to 0:4.
