A small fox shrine located on a triangle of roads inside a bigger triangle of roads.

Dousojin is a traveller's guardian deity, and thus I'm quite happy to find this shrine. May they watch over me, together with Inari. Also, two tiny porcelain foxes live in here, and there's also some shards that indicate that this place may have once been home to two more.
