The 65th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, and the fourth within the Aokigataki cluster. It features the usual pair of life-sized stone foxes, with the left one holding a scroll, and the right one holding an orb. And yes, this is gonna be a theme for a while now, since every single shrine at Aogataki (at least those on the outside) features exactly two foxes, and most of them are like this.
