234 ~ Inari Jinja (Fox Dump)

 

Japanese Name:  稲荷神社
Romanized Reading: Inari Jinja
English Translation: Inari Shrine
Size: Tiny side shrine of Akae Hachimangu
Deity: Inari
Fox Count: Many
First Visit: 13-Sep-2018
Location: Akae
Address:
1659 Akaechō, Yasugi-shi, Shimane-ken 692-0001
Coordinates:

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.
