The seventh vulpine side shrine of Kurose Jinja, which also bears one of the four names of the previous one. This one is located on the top of a flight of stairs leading roughly one story up the hillside. The stairway notably has "blockers" in the middle, because the middle is reserved for the gods. The Torii are once again made from metal, and a total of eight tiny porcelain foxes sit within the shrine. Interestingly, this time the asymmetrical number of five of them are gilded.
