With this, my first visit to Japan draws to a close. I've visited a total of 2508 shrines and temples in this land, 603 of which had foxes. And if you look at where most of those were located, there's a clear bias.
Does this mean that the Fox Shrine Blog will end here? No. I have visited Japan a second time (see the Travelling Fox Blog Book V ~ Chapter 21 ~ Charms of Changi ~ Nights of Nara and following), and during that time have naturally sought out and found more fox shrines.However, that number is limited, and my next trip to Japan is not yet planned. As such, from here on out I am going to reduce the rate at which I publish new posts on this blog. In fact, you've probably noticed that I've been gradually slowing down my publication rate these last two months already.
I'll take a bit of a break now since I'm going to the Thalhäusl again (see the Travelling Fox Blog Book V ~ Chapter 18 ~ Thalhäusl the Third for example). Then, starting sometime next month, I'm aiming at making two updates per week - probably on Wednesday and Saturday. Hopefully, that will let me stretch out my backlog of shrines long to make it to my next Japan trip, because I can hear the land of foxes calling out to me again...
Anyway, long story made short: There'll be a bit of a break now, and then new shrine posts will be coming at a slower rate.
So stay tuned, and be of great cheer! =^,^=
