This former public notice board stood at the key intersection of the Kamakura Kaido and Koshu Kaido highways (now the Old Koshu Kaido) and was used to inform the public of laws and regulations. It measures 15.1 feet wide and approximately 16.4 feet high.
Next to the Kosatsuba Notice Board is a sacred resting place known as the Otabisho. It is believed to be where Okunitama-no-Okami, the deity enshrined at Okunitama Shrine, descended to earth. During the Kurayami Festival on May 5, Shinto rituals are held here, and eight portable shrines remain overnight.
