The Koiwai Station building is a single-story timber structure with a gabled roof and a nationally registered tangible cultural property. The city says it chose materials and colors from old monochrome photos using AI restoration, and kept the ticket counter. The city manages it, and the Koiwai neighborhood association cleans it.

Onikoshi Sozen Shrine was formerly Komagata Shrine and is also called Sozen Shrine. The city records that it is said to have been moved to its present site in the late Meiji era and rebuilt. The Chagu Chagu Umakko parade sets out from here for Morioka Hachimangu in Morioka City, about 14 km away.
03 ／ Kagura
This kagura is dedicated at Tamura Shrine in the Shinogi district and is a prefecturally designated intangible folk cultural property.
