Located at the foot of Inariyama and hidden behind a row of houses, accessible only through a small side road, there's this little fox shrine cluster, which is also the final fox shrine cluster that I should find during my visit to Kyoto. It is also located at the shore of a tiny nameless stream that runs all the way from the summit of Inariyama. In fact, a number of other clusters are named after other waterfalls in this stream, or lie next to it, such as Kiyotaki, Yakuriki-no-Taki in the Mitsurugisha Cluster and the Harushige Ookami Cluster.
Anyway, many foxes watch over this one, illuminated by lanterns and candles.
