114 ~ Kashoku Inarisha (Hidden Foxes)

 

Japanese Name:  稼穡稲荷社
Romanized Reading: Kashoku Inarisha
English Translation: Planting and Harvesting Inari Shrine
Size: Small
Deity: Inari
Fox Count: 8-14
First Visit: 26-Apr-2018
Location: Tokyo-Shinagawa
Coordinates: 35.6168803,139.7433525

A small fox shrine at the back of a big building that apparently houses the Shinagawa City Library among other things. In fact, this one is literally just across the street from the last shrine. No foxes stand watch outside, but there's a total of eight porcelain Byakko inside.Two of them are actually pretty big for porcelain Byakko, bigger than the size of a hand, while the others are more regular sized and harder to spot. I think there's also a pair of foxes engraved into the base of the inner shrine, but I'm not sure. How many foxes do you count?
