When the two villages threatened to go to war with each other, the checkpoint was closed to travelers. After it was revealed that the the ruler of Masuko villager, Shigehira Masuko, was actually a yōkai before he was destroyed, hostilities between the two villages ceased and the checkpoint was open.
