This and this.

Yomi literally means a yellow well or spring. In Shinto religion it refers to the underworld, land of the dead, hell. Yomotsuheguri is likely derived from Yomotsu Hirasaka and Yomotsu Hegui. The former is the decent into the underworld, a hill or slope of some sort. The latter is a concept referring to the fruit or food of the underworld, and that once it has been eaten, you can never leave.

For further information, look up the story of Kamiumi, in particular the Land of Yomi.
