A small vulpine side shrine of Gohaumiu Jinja (五所明神社 "Five Places Radiant Shrine"), and the only fox shrine I should find in the town of Saiki (佐伯 "Assistant Chief"). It features several dozen tiny porcelain foxes, along with a pair of life-sized stone foxes. There might have been a second fox shrine in this town, but I only had one evening to explore, so I'm glad I found one with this many foxes.
