Inari Hokora in Washimiya
By Muza-chan on Nov 4, 2009 | In Japan travel | 13 feedbacks »
As I wrote about some time ago, I like very much these small shrines hokora, located on the side of the roads, like this one I discovered while strolling in Washimiya.

It is dedicated to Inari, kami of fertility, rice, agriculture and success. Inside, two pairs of kitsune guardians (males and females), the messengers of Inari.
It is one of the few shrines I’ve met left in disarray a little bit, with some statues fallen and with dried branches, but like this it seems to have even more charm…

Another small Inari Shrine discovered in Chuo, near the Suitengumae metro station, hidden among buildings:




The shimenawa drawn my attention because of its golden color, which i’ve rarely seen…

and the expressive gaze of the two kitsune guardians.
