208 ~ Inari Jinja

 

Japanese Name:  稲荷神社

English Translation: Inari Shrine
Size: Small
Deity: Inari
Fox Count: 2
First Visit: 3-Sep-2018
Location: Nagahama-Asahichou
Address:
24-23 Asahichō, Nagahama-shi, Shiga-ken 526-0056
Coordinates:
35.3755418,136.268786

A small fox shrine in Nagahama's Asahichou (朝日町 "Morning Sun Town"). The pair of life-sized fox statues here are caged, probably because they've already faced enough erosion as it is. The left one is particularly badly weathered already, missing both ears. It's also kinda nice how the tree was grown in such a way that its canopy is straight above the Torii, although the trunk originates from the left.
