The first fox shrine that I should find on my epic cycling tour to the foot of Mt. Fuji on a single-gear bike. This one is located in the first town over and consists only of a single small room with a pair of porcelain foxes hidden inside.

Recent satellite image data shows that there now is a parking lot where this shrine used to be, so maybe it got demolished or moved. But I'll always have my memories and photos of this place.
