74 ~ Sasazuka Inari Jinja

First Visit: 10-Apr-2018
Location: Tokyo-Bunkyo
Address: 3 Chome-30-1 Yushima, Bunkyō-ku, Tōkyō-to 113-0034

The first fox shrine that I should find on my short stray today, and a side shrine of the big Yushima Tenmangu (湯島天満宮 "Hot Spring Island Heavenly Full Hall"). Instead of a statue, this one features a fresco of a white fox in the clouds below an Inari-emblem and with a Hoshi-no-Tama on its tail.
