Another shrine that I found on a "family trip" that my host took me on with some of her acquaintances. This one is a side shrine of the big Miyajidake Jinja (宮地嶽神社 "Shrine Grounds Peak Shrine"), which is located in the semi-eponymous Miyaji (宮司 "Shrine Administration") town north of Fukuoka. Two life-sized stone foxes sit watch outside of the shrine, while a bunch of tiny porcelain foxes reside within. There's also a painting of a Byakko, as well as a little statue of a multi-tailed fox within (although it's hard to tell exactly how many tails that one sports, at least five I think, and my guess is gonna be nine).
