This fox shrine cluster is a hidden gem. It's not somewhere that most people usually walk. Located on the Yamashina Sandou (山科参道 "Mountain Section Shrine Approach Road"), it lies about 150m off the Torii road. I only found it because I was so determined to walk a different way back home that I didn't care that it took me through the dark midnight forest for more than half a kilometer. Then again, a fox alone at night on the holy mountain... what could possibly go wrong?
This is also the final shrine that I would consider to be part of Fushimi Inari Taisha that I visited... for now. But Kyoto still has many more fox shrines to offer all over the city.
