The 47th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the 40th within the Kobogataki supercluster, and the 16th in the latter's eastern area. This one is unusual because one of the names on the Iwakura is written partially in Hiragana, which is not something I have seen before. From what I could gather, it was used to refer to comely young girls (and potentially shrine maidens), and is a nickname for Chiyobo Inari Jinja.
Two life-sized stone foxes watch over this shrine, although the left one is badly broken and rests behind its pedestal now.
