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.
