A little foxy side shrine of Suwa Jinja (諏訪神社 "Consulting Visit Shrine"), which is in turn located on what I now realize is an old pilgrimage route, thus explaining the abundance of shrines and temples in this area in general, and along this very road in particular. A pair of life-sized stone foxes sits watch in front, and another two tiny stone foxes are inside, along with a Taiko drum. Also, the right one of the stone foxes outside features a kit, thus bringing the vixen side count to 6:23.
