The 42nd vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the 35th within the Kobogataki supercluster, and the eleventh in the latter's eastern area. This one has many clearly legible names, as well as a few more, but I think what I've got here is already plenty. It is also one of the three shrines in the Kobogataki supercluster that features four foxes instead of the usual two: Two life-sized stone foxes with red bibs, and another slightly smaller naked pair. As usual, the ones on the left are holding scrolls, and the ones on the right are holding orbs.
