409 ~ Midayatsushima Ookami

 

Japanese Name: 乱八ツ嶋大神
Romanized Reading: Midayatsushima Ookami
English Translation: Riot Eight Islands Shrine Great Deity
Size: Tiny side shrine of Kobogataki within Fushimi Inari Taisha
Deity: ?
Fox Count: 2
First Visit: 25-Dec-2018
Location: Kyoto-Fushimi
Address: 27 Fukakusa Sasayamachō, Fushimi Ward, Kyoto, 612-0811
Coordinates
: 34.9655, 135.7810


The 48th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the 41st within the Kobogataki supercluster, and the 17th in the latter's eastern area. It features the usual pair of life-sized stone foxes, with the left one holding a scroll, and the right one holding an orb.

While I am certain about the Kanji (and Katakana) that make up this shrine's name, I'm not sure about it's pronunciation - especially not the initial 乱. So if anyone has a better idea of how this one is pronounced, please let me know in the comments.
