SUGOH Shrine in Hida

We have visited shrine. I have never seen such big twin fox. 

Sugoh Inari-Jinja in formal.

















Koma-Inu in entrance.
It's stone images which shaped like Lion. They has become moss-grown.

Left one. Moss, cracks and spider's web at his feet.

Right one is damaged. Cracks in arm and his face has weathered away.

Stone lantern


A pair of fox is a symbol of Inari-Shrine. A messenger from god or their family and relations.


 Left one is holding a treasure ball in his mouth.

Right one is holding a key in his mouth.


 Side view

A wooden fox on an offertory box.

It's rare, old, and strange....why is he here ?
I think wooden images is in inside shrine usually. But anyway, I'm glad to see him.
I don't think that this shrine kept in good condition. 
Decrease in population, shorthand, no money, it's so hard to keep it.
Then I pray to him for my mother's recovery.
Strictly speaking, they are specialist for agriculture. So I contributed more than usual.
