The 61st vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, the 54th within the Kobogataki supercluster, and the eight in the latter's southern area. This is also finally the last shrine within Kobogataki, which makes this the biggest concentration of fox shrines I've encountered... thus far.
As usual, this one features the a pair of life-sized stone foxes, with the left one holding a scroll, and the right one holding an orb. Also, if you're in the area, there's also another shrine not far to the southwest called Myoubutaki (命婦瀧 "High-Ranking Court Lady Waterfall"), which may or may not be another supercluster. At the very least it also has foxes, although I didn't visit it in person.
