The 103rd vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, and the 20th one within the Shiragiku-no-Taki cluster. As usual, it is watched over by a pair of life-sized stone foxes, with the left one holding a scroll, and the right one holding an orb.

Unfortunately, I did not manage to get a full photograph of the shrine name, so I don't know what the first Kanji is. 

This one is also remarkably similar to the previous shrine, which makes me believe they were erected as a pair for some reason. It is also located directly to the left of that shrine, to the point where the foundations are in direct contact with one another.
