33 ~ Myoufuku Inari Sonten

 

Japanese Name:  妙福稲荷尊天
English Reading: Myoufuku Inari Sonten
English Translation: Equisite Fortune Inari Revered Heavens
Size: Side Shrine
Deity: Inari
Fox Count: 36
First Visit: 27-Mar-2018
Location: Tokyo-Shinjuku
Coordinates: 35.6989946,139.7244384

A little Side Shrine of Zuikouji (瑞光寺 "Congratulating Light Temple"), and the shrine with the highest number of little foxes watching over it that I have found by then, surpassing Itoku Inari Jinja by a factor of 3! Imagine my delight upon finding this one. I'm actually not sure if this one still exists in this form today, because imagery from Google suggests that it has been rebuilt and does no longer feature three dozen foxes. So if you happen to be in the area, drop by and see if the foxes are still there.
