Location: Kyoto-Fushimi
Address: 27 Fukakusa Sasayamachō, Fushimi Ward, Kyoto, 612-0811
Coordinates: 34.9655, 135.7810The 43rd vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the 36th within the Kobogataki supercluster, and the twelfth in the latter's eastern area. Also, another of them Jedi shrines. I only ran into two of them on all of my travels, and they are both here. Maybe one of them is actually a Sith shrine. But is it this one? Or is it #391?
Anyway, the usual two stone foxes watch over this one. I think they are a bit smaller-than-life sized this time. However, following what seems to be the convention of all fox shrines around Fushimi Inari Taisha, the left one is holding a scroll, and the right one an orb. I suppose it makes sense, because all the masons around here can just walk over to the main shrine and check the originals there, while especially in olden times, people living farther away had no way of checking, and instead of copying the original foxes, they simply came up with their own designs and arrangements.
