A fox shrine not far from the shore of the relatively short Oohashigawa (大橋川 "Big Bridge River"), which connects the two lakes between which Matsue is located. Though Komainu guard the exterior of the shrine, there's still a quartet of tiny porcelain foxes hiding deep inside. This is unusual, because usually a Shrine features either Komainu as its guardians or foxes, but rarely both.
