First Visit: 25-Dec-2018
Location: Kyoto-Fushimi
Address: 27 Fukakusa Sasayamachō, Fushimi Ward, Kyoto, 612-0811
Coordinates: 34.9655, 135.7807The 31st vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the 24th within the Kobogataki supercluster, and the eleventh and last one in the latter's central area. As usual, two life-sized stone foxes watch over this one, the left one holding a scroll, and the right one holding a ball. They're also a bit more bulky than the other foxes here, almost a bit like Komainu. Maybe there's been a bit of crossbreeding, with all the foxes and Komainu mingling here. =^,~'=
Anyway I'll also always remember this one as the Jedi (and Sith) Shrine, because 光釼 ("Kouken") literally translates to "Lightsaber".
