The 109th vulpine side shrine of Fushimi Inari Taisha, and the fourth within the Happyakuman Ookami cluster. Two pairs of life-sized stone foxes watch over this one, which makes this the first shrine with more than two foxes in a while. The outer pair is more sleek and slender, with almost dragon-like necks, while the inner pair has more normal proportions. In both pairs, the left fox holds a scroll, and the right one holds an orb.
