The 108th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, and the third within the Happyakuman Ookami cluster. The usual pair of life-sized stone foxes watch over this one, with the left one holding a scroll, and the right one holding an orb.
This one has more names still, but I wasn't able to decipher all of them. However, I am at the very least able to discern one peculiar curiosity: All but one of them start with 白 (Shiro = "White"). If you want to try and decipher them, here's a closeup.
