115 ~ Mitake Inari Jinja (Fox Territory)

 

Japanese Name:  御嶽稲荷神社
Romanized Reading: Mitake Inari Jinja
English Translation: Honorable Peak Inari Shrine
Size: Small
Deity: Inari
Fox Count: 3.5
First Visit: 26-Apr-2018
Location: Tokyo-Shinagawa
Coordinates: 35.6143222,139.7435673

By now, it is starting to become clear that I have apparently wandered into fox shrine territory: Not only is almost every second shrine that I encounter a fox shrine, but the density is really high too, so I only have to walk a few hundred meters each time to get from one fox shrine to the next, sometimes even less.

Anyway, this little fox shrine faces a parking lot, and one of the foxes watching over this place is missing its entire upper half. There's also a fox to the right who features a kit, thus bringing the vixen side count to 6:22.
