The 69th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, and the eight within the Aokigataki cluster. It features the usual pair of life-sized stone foxes. However, this time it's different: It looks like the foxes on both sides are holding an orb. That, or maybe the scroll of the left has broken off, making it look like an orb instead.
