531 ~ Arakuma Inarisha

 

Japanese Name: 荒熊稲荷社
Romanized Reading: Arakuma Inarisha
English Translation: Wild Bear Inari Shrine
Size: Small Side Shrine of Taishougun Jinja
Deity: Inari
Fox Count:
 4
First Visit:
3-Jan-2019
Location: Kyoto-Higashiyama
Address:
 640 Nagamitsucho, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto, 605-0019
Coordinates:
 35.00890,135.77674

One of several side shrines of Daishougun Jinja (大将軍神社 "Commander-in-Chief Shrine"). This one features a pair of life-sized stone foxes, as well as another small pair of white foxes that I believe is made out of clay instead of the usual porcelain. They are definitely of an unique design, although they still resemble the run-off-the-mill white foxes.
