The 78th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, and for the first time in a long time, a standalone shrine that is not part of any cluster (don't worry though, the next cluster is coming right up).

This one is located a little ways up the road from where the path to/from Aokigataki emerges. The shrine is at the end of a curved driveway, so you can only notice it if you walk past and then look back.

Also, like pretty much everything in this area, this shrine, too, is associated with a waterfall. This one is called Magokoro-no-Taki (真心ノ瀧 "Sincerity's Waterfall"). Like most other shrines around, it features a pair of life-sized stone foxes, with the left one holding a scroll, and the right one holding an orb.
