Sekisho Michi (関所道) was an obstacle introduced in KUNOICHI 2 as the fourth obstacle in First Stage. The obstacle is simple, as competitors just need to cross over sloped beams consisted in three parts.
While it was noticeably an easier obstacle compared to Boufuudou, it was used in order to make the stage easier due to the low clears in the previous tournament. This might be due to the fact that competitors were allowed to use their hands in case of losing their balance on the slopes. It showed as even though there is only one more clear in First Stage compared to the previous tournament, this tournament ended up having two finalists.
However, this obstacle was replaced indirectly by Shouheki Goe in the following tournament due to the drastic changes applied in that tournament, including the introduction of Third Stage and tower-shaped Final Stage, which the first two tournaments lacked of.
A similar obstacle, called Snake Crossing later appeared as the third obstacle on American Ninja Warrior 7 in Pittsburgh.
Hands are allowed to be used in this obstacle, as seen during Mori Yōko's attempt in KUNOICHI 2002
