With both work and Japanese lessons keeping me busy around this time, it was over a week before I could go out and search for shrines again. When I did, the first fox shrine I came across was this tiny shrine standing between two tall buildings in the heart of Tokyo. I wonder if these two buildings contain (or contained) the two companies after which it is named. There's a plaque nearby explaining its history, but even today my Japanese is still not good enough that I could translate it in a timely fashion. But if you Japanese is better than mine, then here's a link to a high-res image of the plaque.
