The starting point of the Akita Kaido is the former mark of the blacksmith's square (5 in front of Ashiyacho 5 and Heights Green Gables) at Morioka Castle Lower, and at the same time the blacksmith's branch is the starting point of the highway in Morioka's territory. During the Shosei period, from the upper bridge to the middle bridge from the upper stream along the east bank of Nakatsugawa, a series of large townscapes such as paper (town), blacksmith (town), and Ashiya (town) are created It became a main shopping street in Morioka Castle Lower.
