The first fox shrine I should find in Fukuoka (福岡 "Lucky Hill"), this one is a side shrine of Najima Jinja (名島神社 "Famous Island Shrine"), and overlooks the bay spanned by the Kashii Kamome Oobashi (香椎かもめ大橋 "Incense Mallet Gull Great Bridge") from atop a forested hill. A pair of life-sized stone foxes watch over this shrine. This is notably also one of several branch shrines of Toyokawa Inari scattered across the land.
