154 ~ Taiheizan Miyoshi Jinja

 

Japanese Name:  太平山三吉神社
Romanized Reading: Murasaki Jinja
English Translation: Purple Shrine
Size: Small Ruined Side Shrine of Inari Daimyoujin
Deity: Mountain
Fox Count: 15
First Visit: 16-May-2018
Location: Tashirojima
Address: Nitoda-108 Tashirohama, Ishinomaki-shi, Miyagi-ken 986-0023

The only fox shrine that we should find on Tashirojima. Interestingly, this is a side shrine of Inari Daimyoujin (稲荷大明神  "Inari Great Radiant Deity"), which itself does not feature any foxes. Another curiosity is that this shrine is ruined, the 13 tiny porcelain foxes having taken refuge alongside other idols around the stone monuments in front.
