Coordinates: 34.9655, 135.7810The 52nd vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the 45th within the Kobogataki supercluster, and the 21st 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.
It's second name might also mean "First year in high school great deity", because 高一 is an abbreviation for the first year in high school. Also, this shrine has several more names, but a combination of inopportune fox and/or Torii positioning as well as weathered Iwakura make them hard to read. If you feel like giving it a go, here's the hi-res version of above image. I also took a close-up of the pickup-Torii, but that one ended up too blurry to make out anything but shapes, so I won't post it here.
