210 ~ Nameless Shrine

The first fox shrine that I should find after my move to Daisen (大山 "Large Mountain"). This one is located in the city of Yonago (米子 "Rice Child") in the prefecture of Tottori (鳥取 "Bird Take"). It is a side shrine of Kaike Onsen Jinja (皆生温泉神社 "All Life Hot Springs Shrine"), and in addition to two life-sized stone foxes, there's also eight tiny porcelain foxes watching over this shrine.

By the way, in case you're wondering about the Kanji on the sides of the Torii, these are the names of the people, families and/or companies who donated that particular Torii. They also usually feature the donation date (written in Kanji too) on the back.
