Located in the back of Iyo Inari Jinja, this little side shrine features four life-sized stone foxes, along with many fox lanterns. There's also a picture of Inari riding a nine-tailed wide fox down from the heavens. This is thus far the only depiction of a multi-tailed fox that I have seen at a shrine.
