The 35th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the 28th within the Kobogataki supercluster, and the fourth in the latter's eastern area. This one features a pair of life-sized stone foxes. Again, the left one holds a scroll, and the right one an orb. I think I might be recognizing a pattern here.

Also, this shrine has PLENTY of more names written on the Iwakura, but they are badly weathered, so I can't make them out. If you want to try, click on the below image for a high-res version.
