The present main shrine is of the 1853 (Kaei 6) construction, and the annual festival "Sawara no Taisai (Autumn Festival)", which takes place in October every year, is designated as a national important intangible folk cultural property.

Daishoji Temple

The temple of the Tendai sect, known as Narikiri (Namikiri), is a temple of the Tendai sect that collects the thick faith of the fishing people for great fishing prayers and sea protection. The main priest, Fudō Myōō, was reportedly picked up from the sea by the wives of the fishermen of the land during the middle Kamakura period and laid them here to rest. The thatched-roofed Fudō, which houses Fudō Myo, is designated as a national important cultural property, and is presumed to have been erected during the Muromachi period.

The bridge of glasses

Western-style Mie-bashi, a masonry method, on the lower Nagao River at Takiguchi, Shirahama. Because there are three arches, it is not really glasses, but it has come to be called a glasses bridge from the appearance of moving to the river. The bridge was built in Meiji 21 (1888) with a donation of 399 yen and 40 yen from the villagers. He said he had walked across the river before the construction. It is a sturdy bridge that, in wartime, tanks passed through it without being broken by the Great Kanto Earthquake. Repair work was carried out in 1977 and 1993, and the figure remains at the time of construction. Prefectural Designated Tangible Cultural Property. Japan's Meihashi Hyakusyo.
