高蔵坊狐 Takakurabo Kitsune Fox at the temple 長寿寺 Choju-Ji
The priest 高蔵坊 Takakura Bo of temple Choju-Ji wanted to build a new main hall. The 老狐 old fox who lived in the temple compound wanted to help. He shape-shifted into priest Takakura and begun preaching at crossroads and along the highways:
"I am the priest of the temple Choju-Ji. The Kannon statue of our temple is especially powerful and grants wishes ... "

tateishidanuki 立石狸 Tateishi Tanuki
A Tanuki named Tateishi lived along the highway and often shape-shifted into humans or played tricks on them.
One day a female fish peddler came along. She wanted to cross a river and lifted her skirt to pass through the water. But for some reason she could not cross it. When other people called her, she realized she was standing in a field and all the fish of her basket had gone.

The husband of 白石サカヨ Shiraishi Sakayo was carrying fish from the port of 平潟港 Hiragata. After passing a bridge and a mountain pass, he came to the 街道 Kaido highway. Just there a fox usually appeared and insulted him. The man then shouted:
"I will give one fish to 乙姫 Princess Otohime down the river!" and threw one piece of maguro 鰹 tuna fish down the valley.
If he did this, the fox would leave him in peace.
Another man who heard this story put on a white tenugui 手拭い hand towel to look like a woman, went down the river and got the tuna fish.

Miyagi 大崎市 Osaki city 古川宮沢 Furukawamiyazawa
West of the swamp 化女沼 Kejonuma lived a rich person. He had a beautiful daughter and the rich lord of a manor wanted her as his wife. He refused, but he was punished and had to leave the village, so he went to 最上 Mogami. The servants stood by the highway roadside as he passed. His daughter took a purse with money and jumped into the swamp. All the fish in the swamp went with her and swam to Mogami, where there is now a small pond. She had some red lacquer plates which she could not take. They are still in the swamp and if horses walk nearby, their hooves may turn red from the lacquer.
- quote wikipedia -
Kejyonuma Dam (Japanese: 化女沼ダム) is an earthen dam in the city of Ōsaki, Miyagi Prefecture, completed in 1995.
The dam crosses the Tajiri River, a branch of the Kitakami River and utilises the basin of a pre-existing natural lake.
A 34 hectare portion of the wetlands at Lake Kejyonuma has been protected since October 2008 as a Ramsar site in Japan.

Once the kannushi 神主 priest from 七村 Nanamura was accompanied by a wolf on his way home, but the animal suddenly bit into his sleeve and since he could not get rid of it, he was taken to the top of the mountain. The wolf dug a hole there and stuffed the priest inside to hide him.
A short while later a thousand wild wolves passed the highway in a parade.
Thus the kind wolf had saved the priest.
