Since Hatenashi Pass was the southernmost pass of Kohechi and also the easternmost pass of the Hatenashi Mountain Range, people of Ryujin Village (Ryujin Village, Tanabe City) used some part of Kohechi which went through the Hatenashi Mountain Range.
また小辺路で最も南にある峠である果無峠は果無山脈東端の峠であることから、果無山脈伝いに龍神村方面（田辺市龍神村）からの往来があったという。
