87 ~ Inari Jinja

 

Japanese Name:  稲荷神社
Romanized Reading: Inari Jinja
English Translation: Inari Shrine
Size: Tiny
Deity: Inari
Fox Count: 2
First Visit: 19-Apr-2018
Location: Tokyo-Taito
Address: 2-chōme-2-9 Negishi, Taito City, Tokyo 110-0003

A hidden tiny fox located on the front porch of a love hotel, behind the typical "privacy walls", so you can actually pray anonymously here. This one once again plays into the fertility aspect of Inari, which also relates to relationships in general. As such, people visiting love hotels may pray for either fertility or a stable relationship at these shrines, or at least that's my best guess here.
