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.
