Inari Taisha, the head shrine of a Shitoism sect, there are deities who preside over productiveness of grain and business. They use foxes as messengers. So you can see the pair of stone guardian foxes at the gate of the shrine.
About two or three hundreds years ago, merchants spread the prayer answered. Then they used Inari for business. Now, you can see small Inari shrines wherever in Japan.
Japanese deities never reject anyone even if you had own religion, there is no need to convert to Shintoism.
良ければ、是非来てくださいね!
I'd like to tell some inside stories...
But I know a few stories and I don't have the picture of the temple, Kinkakuji.
I'll write them some time.
じゃあ、今日はここで失礼します(^.^)/
