It’s actually on the list of places I’d like to go to before I leave, but I don’t think I’m going to be able to make it. Too far and not enough money or time between now and when I move.
Well, if you ever make it to fox village…consider offering some fried tofu at one of the fox shrines! 🙂
If you can, go to the Fushimi Inari shrine. It’s the most famous of the Inari shrines (Inari being the fox-god, or a Shinto god that is associated with foxes) and it’s really breath-taking in person. http://www.jnto.go.jp/eng/location/spot/shritemp/fushimiinaritaisha.html
They have lots of kitchy little fox keepsakes…. I bought a fox coin purse when I was there as a souvenir.
