The 89th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, and the sixth one within the Shiragiku-no-Taki cluster. This one is located at the top of a flight of stairs on the hillside. However, it still features the usual pair of life-sized stone foxes, with the left one holding a scroll, and the right one holding an orb. They look more exalted looking down from on high though.
