The 44th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the 37th within the Kobogataki supercluster, and the 13th in the latter's eastern area. It features the usual pair of life-sized stone foxes, with the left one holding a scroll, and the right one holding an orb. This is another shrine that I photographed twice on account of me losing track among this many shrines.

Also, it has several more names, but due to a combination of the angles I took the pictures from, the pickup Torii placement, and shadows, I can't make up any other full names. If you feel like trying, here's all my pictures of this shrine in high resolution (click to enlarge):
