The 40th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the 33rd within the Kobogataki supercluster, and the ninth 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, and again, the right one has something in its maw, which is probably a jewel, but I can't be sure.
