Located within the precincts of Fushimi Inari Taisha, Byakko-sha is a shrine dedicated to a white fox, a household deity of the great god Inari. The deity of Byakko-sha is Myobu-Tome-no-Kami, which refers to the white fox. At Inari shrines, foxes are considered to be messengers of the gods, and the white fox is considered to be one of the most special of them. The shrine pavilion of Byakko-sha was built in the Ikkensha-Kasuga-zukuri style with a cypress bark roof during the Kan'ei era. Originally enshrined near the present Tamayama Inari Shrine, it was moved to its present location in 1694. This shrine building is designated as a National Important Cultural Property. Although the shrine is small, it has a small hole on its side that is believed to be a pathway for the white fox to enter and exit the shrine. Sake and fried bean curd sometimes can be seen around this hole, offered by visitors to the shrine. In addition, a row of white fox figurines behind the shrine pavilion suggests the depth of the shrine's devotion.
