169 ~ Fushimi Inari Jinja

 

Japanese Name:  伏見稲荷神社
Romanized Reading: Fushimi Inari Jinja
English Translation: Prostrated Hopes Inari Shrine
Size: Tiny
Deity: Inari
Fox Count: 3
First Visit: 26-May-2018
Location: Asahikawa
Coordinates: 43.794345,142.394691

A tiny branch shrine of the Kyoto's Fushimi Inari Taisha - one of the northernmost of its kind - featuring a trio of tiny porcelain foxes inside. Recent imagery data shows that this shrine was apparently razed to make room for a parking lot, so maybe this shrine only exists in my memories and photos now. However, it is also possible that the shrine was merely moved, which is also a thing that sometimes happens during construction projects.
