445 ~ Susa Daimyoujin (Nanamen-no-Taki cluster end)

 

Japanese Name: 須佐大明神
Romanized Reading: Susa Daimyoujin
English Translation: Ought to Help Great Radiant Deity
Size: Tiny Side shrine of Nanamen-no-Taki
Deity: Susanoo?
Fox Count: 2
First Visit: 25-Dec-2018
Location: Kyoto-Fushimi
Address: 0813 612 Fukakusa Gokurakuji Yamacho, Fushimi Ward, Kyoto, 612-0813
Coordinates
: 34.9644 135.7871

The 83rd vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, and the fifth and last one within the Nanamen-no-Taki cluster. This one again 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 not 100% certain, I believe that this shrine is dedicated to Susanoo, god of storms, since the first to Kanji match, and the missing two Kanji 之男 ("Man who") are pretty much just a suffix to the actual name. I can't be certain though.
