The eleventh vulpine side shrine of Magotarou Inari Jinja. This one is dedicated to Ugajin, deity of harvests, wealth and fertility, which is pretty synonymous with Inari, which is why all the crests around here point to Inari as well. In fact, one might also consider Inari to be an amalgamate of various local deities that each revolve around the same thing. However you see it, there's still one tiny porcelain fox to be found here.
