The highway overlaps with the national road and goes to Iwatani-do. You can see the Meiji-style building of Western-style architecture when you go along one of the city of Ichigaya town area in Iwatani-do area and Kawahara-cho, go along the riverside river and cross the Masuzawa Bridge. This is the building of Iwate Prefecture's first Western-style hospital "Kyoritsu Hospital", and its tower is the motif of Kazuo Kikuta's "Ringing Hill". On the other side of the river, there is the site of Iwatani-do Castle, where Esashi built at the end of Kamakura, and after Manji 2 (1659), the generation of Iwashiro.
