Furufu Jinja

Furufu Jinja, Shinto shrine in Japan

Furufu Jinja is a Shinto shrine in Izumi, Osaka Prefecture, dedicated to Susanoo-no-Mikoto. Its grounds contain a subsidiary Wakamiya Shrine that enshrines a stone called Shirakitsune no Kaseki, said to be a white fox that transformed into stone to escape a hunter. The stone was originally on the Oguri/Kumano road and was moved here in 1947.

Furufu Jinja appears in the Engishiki list of shrines, though its founding date and first deity are unknown. The Nihon Sandai Jitsuroku records that in 859 the shrine was ranked among official shrines and its deity was granted the junior fifth rank, lower grade. In the Edo period it was also called Gozu Tenno Sha, became a village shrine in 1872, was briefly merged into Shinoda Mori Kuzunoha Inari Jinja in 1915, and returned to its original hall the following year.

The shrine's auxiliary Wakamiya Sha honours Kuzunoha-hime, the fox wife of the Heian courtier Abe no Yasuna in the Kuzunoha legend. Inside stands the "white fox fossil stone", said to be a white fox that turned to stone to escape a hunter. It was moved here in 1947 from the Oguri (Kumano) road.

Furufu Jinja is about a 6-minute walk south (roughly 500 m) from JR Hanwa Line Kita-Shinoda Station. There is no dedicated car park mentioned in the sources, so arriving by train is the simplest option. The grounds are compact, and the stone said to be the white fox's transformed form stands by the subsidiary Wakamiya Shrine.

In the shrine grounds stands the Wakamiya-sha, where a stone called Shirakitsune-kaiseki is worshipped, said to be a white fox that turned to stone to escape a hunter. The stone originally stood on the Oguri (Kumano) road and was moved here in 1947. Its deity is Kuzunoha-hime.
