The third vulpine side shrine of Toyokawa Inari. Contrasting with all the big and fancy fox shrines, temples and areas here in Toyokawa Inari, this shrine is truly tiny. Sitting atop a flat rock at the bottom of a pillar, it features a pair of tiny porcelain foxes to watch over it, and between them another pair of even tinier porcelain foxes. You'd think that these would be as small as they get, but as a matter of fact, I should yet encounter even smaller foxes than this. This one is definitely one of the tiniest fox shrines I've encountered, though.
