The 45th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the 38th within the Kobogataki supercluster, and the 14th 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.

Here, a bunch of tourists who can be seen in the background asked me what this place was, so I explained to the best of my abilities.

As for the name of this shrine... I did take a clear picture, and yet the Kanji on it are so curlicued that I can't figure out anything apart from the "Ookami" at the end. Feel free to gibe deciphering these a try.

Incidentally, the names on the pedestal below the Iwakura likely indicate the names of the people who sponsored this shrine.
