The sixth foxy side shrine of Kurose Jinja. This is one shrine that goes by four names, as written on the plaque on the Torii. It returns to the tradition of having a metal Torii, but also features a stone Torii. Also, this is the first fox shrine here to not feature any gilded foxes - instead, it "only" houses eight "normal" tiny porcelain foxes. Talk about wild!
