381 ~ Goryuu Ookami (Kobogataki Central Area Start)

 

Japanese Name: 御龍大神
Romanized Reading: Goryuu Ookami
English Translation: Honorable Dragon Great Deity
Size: Small side shrine of Kobogataki within Fushimi Inari Taisha
Deity: ?
Fox Count: 2
First Visit: 25-Dec-2018
Location: Kyoto-Fushimi
Address:27 Fukakusa Sasayamachō, Fushimi Ward, Kyoto, 612-0811
Coordinates
: 34.9655, 135.7807

The 21st vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, and the 14th within the Kobogataki supercluster. This one is the first one within the central area, located behind the main temple building, where a row of tiny shrines stands next to one another. As usual, a pair of life-sized stone foxes watch over this one. The one on the right is explicitly male, which I suppose means the one on the left is a vixen. That brings the vixen side count to 11:33 (which neatly rounds to 1:3).
