Size: Tiny
Deity: Small
Fox Count: 2
First Visit: 15-Sep-2023

The final fox shrine that I should find in Ise. This one is located directly next to Yozoji (養草寺 "Developing Grass Temple"), and it looks like it's built on the southeastern corner of its grounds, but is accessible through the road by its own entrance, so I don't count it as a side shrine.

Anyway, in addition to a pair of life-sized stone foxes, there's also a single slightly smaller-than-life cow made from metal watching over this shrine.
