256 ~ Inari Ookami

 

Japanese Name:  稲荷大神
Romanized Reading: Inari Ookami
English Translation: Inari Great Deity
Size: Tiny
Deity: Inari
Fox Count: 4
First Visit: 14-Oct-2018
Location: Hisayama
Address:
882 Kubara, Hisayama, Kasuya District, Fukuoka 811-2501
Coordinates: 33.649898,130.5091677

The first of several fox shrines that I should find on a cycling tour through the suburbs east of Fukuoka. This one is located in the town of Hisayama (久山 "Long Time Mountain"), and more specifically on the parking lot of a gardening center! Two slightly smaller-than-life stone foxes sit guard in front, and another two tiny porcelain foxes can be found next to the alter within. There's notably a lot of offerings in here, including eggs, and orange, sake, beer and tea among others.
