A small fox shrine (and branch shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha) surrounded on three sides by large buildings. Located at the bottom of a narrow between buildings a minimum of four stories high, and facing north no less, this shrine probably barely ever gets any sunlight. Meanwhile, the stone fox statues here are of another unusual design, probably meaning they were custom-made for this shrine alone. Also, the right fox has a kit to the right, bringing the vixen side count to 1:12.
