Near 600 meters above sea level, this pass connects Nishiyama of Iga City and Tarao of Koka City. It appears in the opening scene of the movie “Fukuro no Shiro”, and is one pass that Tokugawa Ieyasu passed over as he hurriedly crossed Iga to return to Okazaki, helped along by the people of Iga and Koka, during the Honnoji War.
