40 ~ Daishi Inari Jinja

 

Japanese Name:  大師稲荷神社
English Reading: Daishi Inari Jinja
English Translation: Great Master Inari Shrine
Size: Medium
Deity: Inari
Fox Count: 4 (relief)
First Visit: 1-Apr-2018
Location: Kawasaki
Address: 3 Chome-5-1 Nakaze, Kawasaki Ward, Kawasaki, Kanagawa 210-0818

This fox shrine is different from those I encountered before. It doesn't have any fox statues, but instead features artful fox reliefs carved into the sockets of the traditional stone lamps, which makes it all the more special. Also take note how the foxes in these reliefs always come in pairs.
