A fox shrine with a name plaque written in a font that looks only borderline Japanese. Maybe it's old Japanese or something? At any rate, I can't read what is written there.
Anyway, this is a side shrine of Ryouchuuji (良畴寺 "Good Farmland Temple"), and a pair of life-sized stone foxes watch over it. Also, there's a circular pit in front of the shrine, which is probably for burning incense, since this is a side shrine of a Buddhist temple after all.
Also, we're in Nagahama's Shimosakahamachou (下坂浜町 "Lower Hill Beach Town") by now.
