A tiny fox shrine on a forested hill, and the first fox shrine I should find in Dazaifu, after covering over two dozen shrines without foxes at the great Dazaifu Tenmangu (太宰府天満宮 "Thick Manager Borough Heavenly Full Hall"). Invited by a row of Torii going up the hill, I eventually arrive at a tiny stone shrine housing three tiny white porcelain foxes, and one tiny golden porcelain fox.
