Even though it was no longer snowing, there was enough left to make everything look different.
I passed by 延壽稲荷大明神, Inari Daimyojin while walking to my destination. I had hoped there would be more snow on the backs of the komainu.
A lot of the snow had melted but the shrine was still interesting to see again.
I also found another Shinto Inari shrine. This one is located between residential buildings, so I had to search a little to find it.
There isn't a name listed for it on Google maps, but it definitely is an older shrine.
So I do not know the kami that is enshrined here, most likely Inari as a protector of local businesses and the people who live here.
The green moss or lichen has created a strange effect with this kitsune's eyes.
There is a bit more realism of the bodies of these kitsune. I wonder if there was a kit, a baby fox with this one.
