Fuchu Kosatsuba
The bulletin and public news board from the olden days.
At the intersection of the Koshu Kaido (now known as the Kyu Kaisho Kaido) and Kamakura Kaido roads sits a "kosatsu" post board. These post boards, as big as 4.6m wide and 5m tall, served like a modern day "bulletin board", where new decrees and public announcements were shared.
Next to the Kosatsuba sat a place called the "otabisho". This spot is where Ookunitama no Ookami (the god enshrined at Okunitama-jinja Shrine) is said to have come to earth. On May 5th during the Kurayami "Darkness" Festival, visitors can see a number of events and 8 different portable mikoshi shrines as they light up the night.
