A cute little fox shrine with a little fox side shrine that I'll get to next. This one does not feature "Inari" in its name, but everything about the shrine just screams "Inari", from the foxes to the symbols to the leaves inside, so I'm pretty certain that this one is an Inari shrine.

Anyway, two pairs of life-sized stone foxes sit watch outside, with the first pair gilded and the second pair of plain stone. And inside, another four tiny porcelain foxes have taken up residence.
