The annual festival is held on July 9th. The main hall of Kurasaka Shrine is said to have been built in the early Meiji era by the master carpenter Kasuke from Sekishu district. Using zelkova wood sourced from Isaimura and Kōnoshō Villages. It took three years to construct this impressive structure, entirely made of zelkova.
The building is particularly notable for its intricate carvings, which include dragons, lions, tengu, warriors, children, Ebisu, waves, clouds, birds, peonies, and arabesques, among other motifs, making it a valuable cultural asset. The grandeur of the structure suggests that it could not have been built with the resources of a single village, a testament to the greatness of its predecessors.
