A tiny side shrine of the big Akae Hachimangu (赤江八幡宮 "Red Bay Hachiman Hall"). Not only does it feature several stone foxes of various sizes and in various states of decay watching over it, but it also has a rather unusual feature: A dump of tiny porcelain foxes. I wonder what the story behind that is.
