Back across the Tama river, I have now returned to Tokyo. And right across the bridge lies Haneda Jinja (羽田神社 "Feather Field Shrine"), which is totally related to the nearby Haneda Airport. You see, at that Shrine you can buy charms for safety on plane travels, and write prayer plaques for the safety of friends and family. Apart from that, it does not only feature one but
three vulpine side shrines, of which this one is the first. Not only are there a total of 7 foxes around, but also does the explanatory billboard outside feature a cute fox drawing. A shame I can't read it though. By the way, Haneda Jinja was recently rebuilt, so today these Shrines look a little bit different. Sadly, they no longer have those cute foxy billboards, so this photograph is the only memory that remains of it.
