In the legend of Yutoku Inari Shrine, the fox spirit does not directly appear in the name of "Fox Fairy", but the fox plays an important role in the legend as the messenger or representative of Inari God. Here are some key points about the fox in the Yutoku Inari Shrine legend:
• The fox is regarded as a messenger of the god Inari, endowed with magical power and wisdom.
• The fox helped the villagers solve the problem of insect and rodent damage to the crops and protected the harvest.
• In order to thank the fox for its kindness, the villagers built a statue of the fox in the shrine and regarded it as the patron saint of the shrine.
Although the term "Fox Fairy" is not directly mentioned in the legend, the role played by the fox and the power displayed have certain similarities with the image of the Fox Fairy in Japanese culture.
The vermilion color of the stage is amazing!
That alone is worth the visit.
The shopping street in front of the temple is a little rundown, but it's fun to look at the souvenirs. 😊
