The 50th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the 43rd within the Kobogataki supercluster, and the 19th 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.

If things feel like they're getting a little bit repetitive at this point, that is because they are. I didn't think there could be such a thing as too many fox shrines, but this place comes damn close, to the point that I feat I'm risking a sensory overload where I'll just collapse amidst this mass of spiritual vulpinity, twitching and grinning like a madman. =^,~'=
