44 ~ Matsumi Inari Jinja

 

Japanese Name:  松巳稲荷神社
English Reading: Matsumi Inari Jinja
English Translation: Pine Tree Snake Inari Shrine
Size: Small
Deity: Inari
Fox Count: 2
First Visit: 1-Apr-2018
Location: Tokyo-Ota
Address: 2 Chome-14-9 Haneda, Ōta-ku, Tōkyō-to 144-0043

A small Inari Shrine located in the twisting back roads of Haneda. Filled with many humble buildings, this shrine is likewise humble, which only serves to make it feel all the more authentic. Inside, a pair of tiny foxes keep watch over the little inner sanctuary. Incidentally, snakes are also considered holy animals of Inari, so little coiled snake statues can also be seen at some Inari shrines. Not this one though.
