Oeyama Pass (Oeyama Pass)

Japanese: 大枝山関(大江山関) - おおえやまのせき

This checkpoint was established just before the Oinosaka Pass (present-day Nishikyo Ward, Kyoto City) where the San'in Road passes from Yamashiro to Tamba. It was established to procure laborers (soldiers) and food for the transport of annual taxes from the manors under the jurisdiction of Tenryu-ji Temple. It appears in historical documents from the Oei era (1394-1428), and in 1423 the shogunate established customs fees for this checkpoint. It is assumed that Tenryu-ji Temple made a considerable profit from this, but it is unclear how long it continued to function as a checkpoint after that.

Japanese:

山陰道が山城から丹波へ抜ける老(おい)ノ坂（現京都市西京区）の峠手前に設けられていた関所。天竜寺所管の荘園年貢運送にかかる人夫（兵士）粮物の調達のため設置された関所で，応永年間（1394年−1428年）の史料にみえ，1423年幕府は当関の関料規定を定めている。これによって天竜寺は相当の収益をあげていたと推測されるが，以後いつまで関の機能が続いたかは不明。
