Another small Inari Shrine in the neighborhood of Aoyama that I found following the aforementioned job interview. This one displays another common feature of many Shinto shrines: The stone fence engraved with Kanji. And although I am not 100% certain, think that the Kanji engraved on the fence are the names of the ones who donated to help finance the fence. At least the Kanji on the fences all read like names to me. By the way, that would also explain why the fences on different shrines have different spacing in between the pillars, with some so close that there's barely any gaps in between: More people donating means more posts and thus less gaps.
