There are other opinions that the birthplace of sobakiri was elsewhere such as Motoyama-juku Station on Nakasendo Road (the present Motoyama area Soga, Shiojiri City, Nagano Prefecture) and Seiun-ji Temple in Tenmokuzan Mountain (the present Yamato-cho, Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture) ("Shiojiri" written by Sadakage AMANO) but, in view of the document at Josho-ji Temple as a collateral evidence, it is hard to say that sobakiri originated in either location for sure.
他に蕎麦切り発祥地として中山道本山宿（現在の長野県塩尻市宗賀本山地区）という説、甲斐国の天目山栖雲寺（現在の山梨県甲州市大和町）説（天野信景著『塩尻』）もあるが、定勝寺文書の傍証を鑑みるに、確実な発祥地とは言い難い。
