This is the final fox shrine cluster that I should find today (though not the final fox shrine), and it's of decent size, with many foxes inside.

It is located almost directly next to the Inari Houikuen (稲荷保育園 "Inari Kindergarten"). And there's also an elementary school somewhere around as this cute note attests.

I wonder how my life would have gone if I'd been born and raised here? Odds are I'd be a priest at Fushimi Inari now.
