The tenth vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, and the third one within the Kobogataki supercluster, located in the western area. Like many shrines in here, this one features a pair of life-sized stone foxes to watch over it. And if I understand it correctly, the Kanji engraved into the pillars of the stone Torii here denote all the people who put their money together to sponsor the great stone gate.
