A fox shrine that is located at the top of a small hill near the shore. As in: "That sure are toughly five dozen stairs to climb there!" I can imagine that this place would be a great refuge during a Tsunami.

Anyway, two life-sized stone foxes watch over this shrine. Incidentally, they also get a good view of Mt. Fuji from where they sit.
