todayintokyo:

Since 2018 is the year of the dog, I’m doing a series of posts about dog / wolf shrines in or near Tokyo. The shrine that features in my second post is a very small and apparently nondescript one, hidden between tall buildings in Shibuya, but it’s unusual: instead of kitsune (foxes), it has wolf guardians. That’s very rare. It’s called Miyamasu Mitake Jinja (宮益御嶽神社), and though its origins are obscure, it dates back to the Edo period.

The first post, about Mitsumine Jinja, is here.
