A fox shrine that I came across during my improvised road trip around Hokkaido, during a lunch break at Urahoro (浦幌 "Bay Canopy"), in the southeast of Hokkaido. It is a side shrine of the eponymous town shrine and features four dozen tiny porcelain foxes inside. It is also a branch shrine of the great Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto, that I should yet visit... in due time.
