Kurihara-shuku once flourished under the rule of the Kurihara Clan, and many temples remain from that time. Many actors heading to Kofu for Kabuki performances used the old Koshu-kaido Road, which promoted the formation of Kabuki performed by local actors (mura-kabuki). Due to the damage by a large flood in 1907, the townscape of the old times no longer exists. However, the landscape with peach fields and temples has not changed from the olden days.
