Itaya Pass

Japanese: 板谷峠 - いたやとうげ
Itaya Pass

A pass on the Itaya Kaido (Yonezawa Kaido) between Fukushima City and Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture. It is 755 meters above sea level. Located on the south side of Mt. Hachimori, the pass was opened by the Yonezawa Domain in 1850 (Kaei 3). It was the shortest route to Edo via Fukushima Castle and was used as a route for the Yonezawa Domain's alternate attendance. A palace was built in Itaya (Yonezawa City) and was used as the lodgings for the lord of Yonezawa. In 1899 (Meiji 32), the Ou Line was opened passing directly below the pass.
