English Translation: Middle Town Light Pestle?
Size: Tiny Side Shrine of Oomori Jinja

Fox Count: 3
First Visit: 26-Apr-2018
Location: Tokyo-Ota
Address: 6 Chome-32-12 Omorikita, 大田区 Ota City, Tokyo 143-0016

A tiny foxy side shrine of Oomori Jinja (大森神社 "Great Forest Shrine"), which ironically is located in the middle of the city, with only a handful of trees on the shrine grounds. I am actually not 100% sure about the last Kanji in this shrine's name, since it is painted on a piece of cloth with a stroke width so big that the lines of the Kanji blur together. Anyway inside the tiny shrine, there's a pair of tiny porcelain foxes, with a third even smaller porcelain fox in their middle.
