In former times the area of 豊前の国 Nagato no Kuni and 豊前の国 Buzen no Kuni (both in Fukuoka and Oita) was connected by a place called 穴門 Anamon, now in Nagato. It was also written 穴戸 Anato.　
When 神功皇后 Empress Jingu Kogo took the army to Korea, part of the land was cut away to make place for the war ships to pass.
