Here's a kitsune with his "star ball" on his tail, I think? Awesome.

I'm not sure what these writings signify, but this wall is beautiful.

This is the main hall. I love this hot orange color.

A great paper lantern with the image of a chrysanthemum, or kiku, the Japanese Imperial Family seal.

I'll mention here at "taisha" means that this is Inari's "main shrine." It turns out that there are upwards of 40,000 shrines in Japan also dedicated to this particular god. Impressive.

These are ema, or wooden wishing plaques, a Shinto prayer custom.

More ema and some handwritten prayers, as well?
