...these small shrines, usually dedicated to Inari (稲荷) the deity of rice. This one is called Kumagai Inari Jinja (熊谷稲荷神社) and has been there since the 12th century. The Chinese restaurant that is next to it and whose sign you can see on the left, has been there since 1968 so it's safe to assume it's good --it's called Hagoromo (羽衣).
