Located directly next to aforementioned Inari shrine, there's this chicken shrine, which features two life-sized chickens as its guardians. Apparently, this shrine is not only dedicated to chickens, but also to children, and you can get talismans from this shrine that are supposed to prevent children from crying at night, just like chickens who only cry in the mornings.

This shrine also has its own website, which you can check out here: https://keisekijinja.com/ (it's in Japanese though, but there are pictures)
