A tiny side shrine of Nishiki Tenmangu (錦天満宮 "Brocade Heavenly Full Shrine"). That one is particularly noteworthy because it is directly adjunct to the Shinkyogoku Doori (新京極通 "New Capital Settlement Road"), which is a roofed shopping street. The shrine itself is open air, which makes it feel like a courtyard to the shopping street.
It is literally crammed into a small courtyard too! And if you go past the main shrine to the left, you arrive on a few square meters with three tiny side shrines, one of which is this one. A total of nine tiny porcelain foxes hide within.
