260 ~ Side Shrine of Hiroten Jinja

Romanized Reading: ?
English Translation: ?
Size: Tiny Side Shrine of Hiroten Jinja
Deity: Inari?
Fox Count: 2
First Visit: 16-Oct-2018
Location: Shikanoshima
Address: Higashi Ward, Fukuoka, 811-0324
Coordinates: 33.6708901,130.292856

The first fox shrine that I should find on my cycling tour to Shikanoshima (志賀島 "Planned Joy Island"), which is a tethered island connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway, which is how I was able to get there by bike. This tiny stone shrine is a side shrine of Hiroten Jinja (弘天神社 "Wide Heavens Shrine"), which in turn is a branch shrine of Shikaumi Jinja (志賀海神社 "Planned Joy Ocean Shrine"), the biggest shrine of the island, located at the southeastern tip. A pair of tiny porcelain foxes have taken shelter in this humble stone abode.
