The sixth vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha. Still located close to Okusha Houhaisho, this one occupies an areal that goes by many names. On the map it is labeled as Neagari-no-Matsu (根上りの松 "Pine Tree with Exposed Roots"), which is translated as "God luck pine tree". Then there's the Kitsune-no-Sazareishi (狐のさざれ石 "Fox Pebbles"), which likely refers to the row of Iwakura, which are guarded by three tiny porcelain foxes. And then, there's a small stone outcropping on which another three small stone foxes in various states of weathering reside.
