The final new fox shrine cluster that I should find this year, but not the last one of this night. This is the last cluster before the absolute peak of Inariyama, where I should go for my Hatsumoude.

A lot of people are standing in line at the central shrine of Ichinomine Kamisha.

 
I see no reason to get in line, since there are dozens of tiny fox shrines all around that for some reason no one pays attention to. So come midnight, I go to one of those - one my heart feels drawn to - and say my prayers for the new year at this tiny shrine, here at the peak of Inariyama.

What did I wish for? Well, it's nothing that has come true since. And I'm not telling.
