One of the two foxy side shrines of Mita Kasuga Jinja (三田春日神社 "Three Fields Spring Day Shrine"). Normally, these fox shrines always feature an even number of foxes, unless one of them is a mother with a kit. This one is an exception, in that it has one extra fox on the right side. By the way, the Japanese name for Side Shrines is Massha (末社 "Close Shrine").
