The third foxy side shrine of Jouzan Inari Jinja. Located to the right of the main shrine, this is the only one that has a countable number of tiny porcelain foxes. It is also the only one that is not dedicated to Inari, but instead to
Konpira, god of merchants and sailors. Not a bad shrine to have in a town that is located on land bridge between two lakes, one of which is actually more of a bay with a channel to the sea that is 200m wide.
