The second foxy side shrine of Kurose Jinja. This one also features a metal Torii, but the tiny shrine itself is fashioned from stone. Inside sit two pairs of tiny porcelain foxes, one pair of which is gilded. Also, with the characteristic branch and symbols, I am quite certain that this one is an Inari shrine.
