The 51st vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the 44th within the Kobogataki supercluster, and the 20th 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.

The problem with this shrine's names is that the red wooden Torii stand so close in front of the Iwakura that they obscure the names, so only the last three or four Kanji of each shrine are visible. Parts of the Kanji are also visible above, but it's not enough for me to puzzle together the full names. If you feel like giving it a try, here are the original pictures.
