The second foxy side shrine of Ishiana Inari Jinja. This one is located a good bit int the woods at the end of a series of red Torii. There's two pairs of life-sized stone foxes, two of which have little baskets in front which may or may not be for offerings (or maybe they sometimes sell charms). Another five tiny porcelain foxes sit right in front of the tiny stone shrine.
