Though daylight fades, my will to visit more fox shrines stays strong. As a result, I come across this little shrine with four foxes watching over it. This one is a Side Shrine of Juniso Kumano Jinja (十二社熊野神社 "Twelve Shrines Bear Field Shrine"), located at one side of the Shinjuku Central Park, which as the name implies is home to a total of eleven smaller side shrines. Next to that is also the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building, which has a free observatory deck on the upper floors, making this particular area a great spot to visit for a wide number of reasons. On clear days, you can even see Mt. Fuji from there.
