Coordinates: 34.9655,135.7806The 16th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, and the ninth within the Kobogataki supercluster, located in the western area. This one features two stone Komainu sitting side by side with the two life-sized stone foxes. That is unusual, but I have seen it at a few fox shrines by now. Still, I'd say it only occurs at about 1% of fox shrines, so it's still a rarity.
Again, this shrine has many more names, but I can't make them out. If anyone wants to help me decipher any extra names, here's the pictures, and feel free to leave a comment if you have any success.
