This Shrine is a first in two regards. For starters, it is the first fox shrine that I find in April, and secondly, it is the first fox shrine that I find outside of Tokyo. Located on the south side of Tamagawa (多摩川 "Frequent Scrapes River"), Kawasaki directly continues the metropolitan area of Tokyo with the river as its seam, so it doesn't actually feel like I have left the city at all, but anyway. Not only are there many little foxes here, but there's also a Matsuri going on, which, in fact, is the reason why I came here today in the first place: The Kanamara Matsuri of Kanayama Jinja (金山神社 "Gold Mountain Shrine"), which is definitely not PG13, but if you want to read about it, you can do so
here.
