This is it! The 600th fox shrine I visited in Japan! I've done it!

And as if to celebrate, there's a Matsuri going on! I only catch the tail end of it, and yet I still get a gift bag! Those are normally reserved for kids, but the locals are so excited to see a foreigner wearing fox tails join them that they almost force one on me. I wonder if they thought I was a fox in disguise? =^,^=

 

Anyway, there's two pairs of life-sized stone foxes here: One sitting outside in cages, and another sitting inside.
