Matsue Castle Shrines - Matsue Gokoku-jinga and Jozan Inari-jinga
I visited two shrines on the grounds of or very close to Matsue Castle. The first was Matsue Gokoku-jinga. There were no other people around, but it looked rather modern - or as modern as shrines can look.
The second was Jozan Inari-jinga. Inari shrines are the fox and red torii shrines. This one had millions (I'm not exagerating) of foxes.
That is a lot of foxes!
ReplyDeleteReally a lot of foxes.
ReplyDeleteThe little white fox may have been purchased at shrine. It may have been returned by the person who fulfilled the role and purchased it.
I like the last photo.
Small and sober,but God’s house.
I just LOVE when I see the red. It just pops against the wood and cement. These are both lovely and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteAnother two wonderful shrines, there sure are a lot of foxes there!!
ReplyDeleteI am surprised there was no snow.
ReplyDeleteOh wow - that's a LOT of foxes!
