The 74th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, and the 13th within the Aokigataki cluster. As usual, it features a pair of stone foxes, but these are rather small. This one again features the usual pair of life-sized stone foxes, with the left one holding a scroll, and the right one holding an orb.

As for the names of this shrine... again, weathering in combination with the sun's glare make it hard to read. I'm not even 100% sure about the one name I listed this shrine under. If you want to try deciphering these, then be my guest.
