The bell tower of Tokaiji in Fuse is built of zelkova with a hip-and-gable roof. Its second level is ringed by twelve columns, carved at the top with the twelve zodiac animals to mark the directions. Built in 1818, it is said to have been designed by Iizuka Igashichi.

Kombukuro Pond lies in the Takadadai pasture of the Koganemaki and has been kept as a spring for grazing horses' water and for irrigation. It is said to be named after a pouch (kombukuro) that a young man saw floating on its water.
