71 ~ Fukuju Jinja

 

Japanese Name:  福寿神社
Romanized Reading: Fukuju Jinja
English Translation: Long Life and Happiness Shrine
Size: Small Side Shrine (of Torikoe Jinja)
Deity: Luck
Fox Count: Many
First Visit: 7-Apr-2018
Location: Tokyo-Taito
Address: 2 Chome-4-1 Torigoe, Taito City, Tokyo 111-0054


The first foxy shrine that I should find on my short stray today. This one is a side shrine of Torikoe Jinja (鳥越神社 "Bird Moving Shrine"), and is notably not an Inari Shrine. Even so, many tiny foxes make their home in show case here. There also are a few bigger foxes outside, but they are in considerably worse shape, lacking, ears, muzzles, or even the entire head.
