This mountain pass connects Odomari and Kinomoto in Kumano City. Stone pavement remains on most of its path, and it is located on the mountain side of Onigajo, a scenic spot.
Surrounded by bamboo groves, the pass has a Jizo statue that is said to have been shot by a gun, and from the plum grove along the way, a panoramic view of Shichiri-Mihama can be seen.
Once over the Matsumoto Pass, visitors can walk along Shichiri-Mihama beach by the sea all the way to Shingu. This is where pilgrims in the past would have thought about Kumano Hayatama-taisha Shrine, which is located in Shingu, beyond Shichiri-Mihama.
