The 58th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the 51st within the Kobogataki supercluster, and the fifth in the latter's southern area. This one has only a single life-sized stone fox to the right. There's a pedestal for a matching fox to the left, but apparently, that one has gone on vacation. Or strike. Who knows?

Anyway, that makes this one of only two shrines in the entire Kobogataki supercluster to only feature a single fox (the other one being 388 ~ Gyokuki Ookami, Kanataka Ookami (and more)).

Also, I can't help but notice how this shrine's name sounds like a sibling to the previous one (Sakae and Fukue), which is located directly to the left. I wonder if that's intentional.
