The 62nd vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, and the first within the Aogataki (青木ヶ瀧 "Blue Tree Waterfall") cluster. There are probably a lot more fox shrines inside - probably enough to make it a supercluster - but unfortunately, entry to the inner area is prohibited to all but worshipers. You're also not allowed to take pictures, smoke or... pee... inside. Interesting combination.
Anyway, there's still over a dozen fox shrines on the outside that are accessible via the path that we walk. Of those, this is the first one, which features the usual pair of life-sized stone foxes, with the left one holding a scroll, and the right one holding an orb.
