The 59th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the 52nd within the Kobogataki supercluster, and the sixth in the latter's southern area. This one again features the usual pair of life-sized stone foxes, with the left one holding a scroll, and the right one holding an orb.

It is also the fox shrine closest to Kobogataki's roadside entrance, which is rather inconspicuous. You can see it in the top left image.
