O-Sorezan, Aomori, one of Japan’s most sacred mountains. Japanese believe the veil between the world of the living and the dead is at its thinnest on the shores of this sulfur-spring fed crater lake.
Haunted Japan
Hide and Shriek:
Ghosts, demons, shapeshifters, creatures of the Yokai (Ghost World). The strange, the beautiful and occasionally the ridiculous.....
Travel the country exploring shrines, festivals, temples, battlefields and power spots looking for stories and images of Haunting Japan.

Thought these two foxes at Atago Jinja’s Inari Shrine were unusual. The kitsune messengers are usually seated on either side of the Inari shrine. These two are running.
