Deity: ?
Fox Count: 2
First Visit: 25-Dec-2018
Location: Kyoto-Fushimi
Address: 27 Fukakusa Sasayamachō, Fushimi Ward, Kyoto, 612-0811

The 39th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the 32nd within the Kobogataki supercluster, and the eight in the latter's eastern area. Again, this one also features a pair of life-sized stone foxes. The left one holds its usual scroll, while the right one has something in its maw. I don't know what it is. It could be an orb (and given the track record of the shrines here that is more than just likely), but it's kinda small, so I can't be sure.
