The kitsune shrine! In Kyoto! [livejournal.com profile] herchuckness found it and the door in the hill was open!



(If you've started reading my journal after my 2007 trip to Japan, click on the "fox shrine" tag below to read the Saga of the Mysterious Fox Shrine with the door into the hill that was chained shut and blocked with rocks.)

Eee! Mystery somewhat solved! I wonder what is down the foxhole!?
O_O
It would make a good basis for a fiction contest.

I love that it's like that - I think if the picture showed it was a small empty cavern or something, I'd have been disappointed. Now the mystery is preserved. :) (Doesn't stop me from wanting to mount a camera on a small robot and send it in, but hey. XD)

I wasn't sure I wanted to look and ruin the mystery, but now I will...

It's obviously a passage to the demon world protected by the guardian fox spirit!

Or maybe not :D

And why does it have a door...?
