small fox shrine nikko -- if you ask Japanese people, many will tell you that Inari can become a fox. This view is discouraged by most Shinto priests who say Inari has white foxes (kitsune) that act as her messengers but isn't a fox herself. Either way, foxes get a great deal of respect in Japan. There's often a small shrine to foxes at Inari Shrines. People leave gifts of fried tofu at these shrines. It's thought that this is their favorite food.
