We're finally no longer at Toyokawa Inari Tokyo Betsuin, but still very close. Literally only across the street, there's another Inari shrine above the driveway of a garage. You have to climb some stone steps to get to it, and then you're greeted not by foxes, but rather a life-sized stone cat with a red bib. Above the shrine, there are carvings of two more cats - one with a bird on its paw, while the other seems to be devouring souls. Inside, there's at least one Maneki Neko (招き猫 "Waving Cat").
