388 ~ Gyokuki Ookami, Kanataka Ookami (and more)

Romanized Readings: Gyokuki Ookami, Kanataka Ookami++
English Translations: Jewel Princess Great Deity, Gold Expensive Great Deity++
Size: Tiny side shrine of Kobogataki within Fushimi Inari Taisha
Deity: ?
Fox Count: 1
First Visit: 25-Dec-2018
Location: Kyoto-Fushimi
Address: 27 Fukakusa Sasayamachō, Fushimi Ward, Kyoto, 612-0811
Coordinates
: 34.9655, 135.7807

The 28th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the 21st within the Kobogataki supercluster, and the eight in the latter's central area. Only a single life-sized stone fox watches over this one, with an empty pedestal on the right side marking the place where its mate probably once sat. This makes this one one of only two fox shrines in the Kobogataki supercluster to feature only a single fox.

Again, the names on the two Iwakura here are really hard to read. If you feel like giving it a shot, here you go!
