A fox shrine located along a foot path at the edge of a hill, not far from aforementioned Jouyama Doubutsuen. Two life sized stone foxes watch over this shrine along with a dozen tiny ones made from porcelain and stone. Half of the tiny ones are also gilded, which is something that you see occasionally.

In addition to the already above-average number of foxes on the main shrine, it also features two foxy side shrines, which earns it the rank of Bronze Fox Shrine in my book.
