The only fox shrine that I should find on my short ride on this day, this one is nonetheless special. Not because of the fox shrine itself, for once, though, but rather because of the main shrine. This one is a side shrine of Hiyoshi Jinja (日吉神社 "Lucky Day Shrine"), which is remarkable because the Sanin Main Line runs straight through the shrine grounds, so this shrine actually features a level crossing.

Anyway, this foxy side shrine features a pair of life-sized stone foxes, along with 28 tiny porcelain foxes to watch over it.
