A tiny little fox shrine located next to the Ise Expressway. Two tiny porcelain foxes watch over it. It's name contains the very rare ゞ character, which is a repetition mark for the previous character with softening applied. Another way to write つゞら would be つづら.

It stands near the bottom of he stairs leading through the very quaint Asakichi Ryokan, which I am SO gonna stay in the next time I visit Ise!
