The third vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, located directly to the left of Okumiya, and the last one in the inner compound. If I read the plaque right, this shrine enshrine Myaobusome-no-Kami (命婦専女神 "High-ranking-court-lady special goddess"), which is one of the incarnations of Inari. True to its name, a pair of life-sized stone Byakko reside in this shrine.
