My trek up the side of Daimonjiyama (大文字屋 "Great Letter Mountain") results in me finding a bunch of shrines and temples, but it is only after I return to the city further to the south that I come across a fox shrine again. This one is located just outside Himukai Daijingu (日向大神宮 "Sunny Place Great God's Hall"), and features a pair of weathered old life-sized stone foxes to watch over it.
