The 46th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the 39th within the Kobogataki supercluster, and the 15th 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.

I am actually not 100% sure about final name of this shrine (熊鷹大神 Kumataka Ookami) since I can't make out the Kanji clearly, but this is my best guess, and at least that makes sense. Also, it's kinda funny how the Hawk Eagle is written as "Bear Hawk" in Japanese. Anyway, here's a closeup of the Iwakura. If you have a better translation, let me know.
