The 37th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the 30th within the Kobogataki supercluster, and the sixth in the latter's eastern area. Again, this one also features a pair of life-sized stone foxes, with the left one holding a scroll, and the right one an orb.

The Iwakura holds two additional names, but they are obscured by the pickup Torii placed in front. Judging from the spider webs, these have not been moved in quite some time. I don't think it's possible to decipher the names from the pictures that I took, but if you want to try anyway, here's a closeup.
