　ＪＲ Karakuri clock in the square in front of Hamada Station. Karakuri such as programs based on the legend of Yamata no Orochi are performed every hour during the day. The nickname of the watch is that children call Iwami Kagura "Donchichi". However, when I went, the machine was not working well and stopped. Iwami Kagura was popular in Hamada City, and it was performed at the banquet.
