Japan's Fox Village Allows Visitors To Interact With More Than 200 Wild Foxes (PHOTOS, VIDEO)

Six different fox species roam around a fox village in Japan with over 200 wild foxes.

This wonderful place was opened in 1990 and became a fox sanctuary since then. This magical oasis of foxes is called Zao Fox Village, and it's located in Japan's Miyagi prefecture.

Many of the foxes would approach humans waiting to be fed or petted, but visitors have to be mindful because the adorable creatures may bite if provoked.

In Japan, foxes are considered to be sly tricksters while others believe that they mystical powers or that they are messengers of Inari Okami, the Shinto deity of fertility, prosperity and rice, Bored Panda reported.
