Every day from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., the top of the clock tower lifts to reveal a stage portraying the Iwami Kagura performance "Orochi", and the mechanical dolls dance to the cheerful rhythm when the clock strikes each hour. The bottom part of the clock tower has different designs on each panel. The front design is made in the image of the stormy waters of the Sea of Japan, and the remaining sides feature pictures of Ebisu, Jinrin, and Orochi, the three representative performances of Iwami Kagura.
