They are the messengers of Inari, the Shinto deity of wealth, prosperity, and rice. [Photo: Piccolist] So yes, there is a Shinto shrine to Inari on the reserve’s premises. How fitting is that?

Also, this might not be the best place to take small children, because, as cute as foxes are, they’re still wild animals and not really kid-friendly. Visitors can get quite close to the animals, which have free reign of the sanctuary. But once again, it’s not recommend that you try to pet the animals. And please don’t bother them if they’re curled up asleep!
