The fifth foxy side shrine of Kurose Jinja, and one that breaks with all the patterns. For starters, it features wooden Torii, and instead of two tiny gilded porcelain foxes inside, it has four! Also, according to the plaque near the shrine, this one is dedicated to the god of the sea and storms, which sounds a lot like Susanoo. It also says that if a fire breaks out in your hearth, you can call upon this god to put it out, which is why you should state your address when you pray at this shrine.
