In google books results for "yomotsuhirasaka", 
it seems most commonly referred to as a 
"pass". I think "boundary" doesn't really 
convey this is a single, specific place.
  Comments:
I think this approach is best.

Given that it's in none of the major refs, I think the names dictionary is a better place for it.

Used quite a bit in popular culture. Should either be here or in the names dictionary.
