The 13th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, and the sixth within the Kobogataki supercluster, located in the western area. This one features a small and slightly broken porcelain fox in addition two its two obligatory (and also kinda weathered) life-sized stone foxes. This makes it one of the odd shrines out here, because really, most of the shrines in this supercluster have exactly two foxes. In fact, of the 56 fox shrines in here, only six have more or less than two foxes, and this is the only one that features exactly three. What are the odds?
