The 85th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, and the second one within the Shiragiku-no-Taki cluster. In addition to Inari, this one is also dedicated to Benzaiten. I suppose it makes sense that an area which seems to be made of cascades has many shrines dedicated to the goddess of everything that flows.

Anyways, a pair of small stone foxes watches over this one, and for a change, neither of them is holding anything in their maws.
