The final fox shrine that I should find on today's tour. This one is a side shrine of the large Umi Hachimangu (宇美八幡宮 "Beautiful Eaves Hachiman Hall"), which is located in the Eponymous town of Umi. Interestingly, this is where I run into a Matsuri which just happens to be held here today, complete with stalls and everything. The Inari Shrine here features a pair of life-sized stone foxes to watch over it.
