First Visit: 25-Dec-2018
Location: Kyoto-Fushimi
Address: 27 Fukakusa Sasayamachō, Fushimi Ward, Kyoto, 612-0811

The 29th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the 22nd within the Kobogataki supercluster, and the ninth in the latter's central area. This one features two life-sized stone foxes again, the left one holding a scroll, while the right one is holding an orb.

This shrine has (at least) two more names, but this time around I don't have any pictures where the whole names is legible. All I can tell is that one name starts with the character 光 (light) and the other with 天 (heaven).
