207 ~ Tokushoji Keidai Inarisha

 

Japanese Name:  徳勝寺境内稲荷社
Romanized Reading: Tokushoji Keidai Inarisha
English Translation: Virtuous Victory Temple Grounds Inari Shrine
Size: Tiny Side Shrine of Tokushoji
Deity: Inari
Fox Count: 4
First Visit: 3-Sep-2018
Location: Nagahama-Hirakatachou
Address:
872 Hirakatachō, Nagahama-shi, Shiga-ken 526-0033
Coordinates:

A foxy side shrine of a Buddhist temple, and since this one features the temple's name in its own, for once I don't have to translate it here in the description. Anyway, four tiny porcelain foxies watch over this one. What's a bit unusual is that they are not paired, but there are three on the left and one on the right. This probably means that two of the left foxes have been broken, since these statues are only sold in pairs.
