The 66th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, and the fifth 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.

It also has a bunch of more names, but unfortunately, the glare of the sun behind the Iwakura makes them hard to read. Also, there's the matter of perspective, and the Torii covers some of them. By this point I was running the clock on how long the battery of my camera would last, so I didn't take any extra pictures.
