A foxy side shrine of Choutokuji (長徳寺 "Superior Virtue Temple"), which I also kindly remember as "Turnaround Shrine" for a simple reason: It is located in a little alcove to the left of the temple ground gate, so I didn't actually see it upon coming in, but only when I turned around and was about to leave. I suppose that means that if I were to name this one, it would be Gyakuten Inarisha (逆転稲荷社 "Turnaround Inari Shrine"). A pair of life-sized stone foxes watches over this one.
