7 ~ Shusse Inari jinja

Japanese Name: 出世稲荷神社
English Reading: Shusse Inari Jinja
English Translation: Success in Life Inari Shrine
Size: Small
Deity: Inari
Fox Count: 6
First Visit: 17-Feb-2018
Location: Tokyo-Koto
Address: 2 Chome-26-7 Eitai, Koto City, Tokyo 135-0034

 
 
A small Inari shrine standing sandwiched between two buildings on a little side road not far away from the old waterfront. Two foxes stand watch outside, and four more are sitting safely inside. Interestingly, the two outer foxes are caged, which is something that I have seen mostly in Tokyo. I'm reasonably certain this is to protect the fox statues from something, but is it birds, or is it humans?
