The fifth vulpine side shrine of Magotarou Inari Jinja. This one holds the record of most foxes, with almost two dozen tiny porcelain foxes present at this tiny shrine. Granted, that is nothing compared to the uncountable number of foxes back at Jouzan Inari Jinja and its side shrines, but in exchange, Magotarou Inari Jinja has just so many side shrines all around, each with at least one fox to watch over them.
