First Visit: 25-Dec-2018
Location: Kyoto-Fushimi
Address: 27 Fukakusa Sasayamachō, Fushimi Ward, Kyoto, 612-0811
Coordinates: 34.9655, 135.7810The 38th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the 31st within the Kobogataki supercluster, and the seventh 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.
Fun fact: I actually photographed this shrine twice while making my rounds here, because near the end I started losing track of which shrines I had already photographed, and figured better take a few pictures too many than a few too less. Turns out that was the wrong decision, but I'll get to why later. Much, much later.
There's more names on the Iwakura, but again, they are partially obscured by the pickup Torii. If you want to try to decipher them, here's a hi-res version.
