I heard that the ancient temple that holds one of Japan’s Top Three Bizarre festivals, the Naked Festival, is located in Urasa.

That is correct, you’re referring to Fukouji Temple. You can walk there from the station’s West Exist.

I heard that the famous Edo Period sculptor Uncho Ishikawa’s works are on display. Where can I go see them?

Once again, you’re quite well informed! From Urasa station, the closest places to see his works would be Saifukuji Temple’s Kaisando and Ryukokuji Temple.
