32 ~ Inarisha

 

Japanese Name:  稲荷社
English Reading: Inarisha
English Translation: Inari Shrine
Size: Tiny
Deity: Inari
Fox Count: 2
First Visit: 27-Mar-2018
Location: Tokyo-Shinjuku
Coordinates: 35.7030243,139.7363435

The first of three fox shrines that I should find on this day. This one is a really tiny Inari shrine fashioned from crude stone slabs, standing in the corner of a parking lot next to a house. And yet, the little interior space is lovingly decorated and features a pair of foxes that watch over it. I'm not even entirely sure that it even has an official name. However, I am reasonably sure that the little metal symbol inside behind the offering plate and between the two foxes denotes it as an Inari shrine.
