In this talk, we investigate $Xi(1690)^-$ production from the $K^-pto K^+K^-Lambda$ reaction wit the effective Lagrangian method and consider the $s$- and $u$-channel $Sigma/Lambda$ ground states and resonances for the $Xi$-pole contributions, in addition to the $s$-channel $Lambda$, $u$-channel nucleon pole, and $t$-channel $K^-$-exchange for the $phi$-pole contributions. The $Xi$-pole includes $Xi(1320)$, $Xi(1535)$, $Xi(1690)(J^p=1/2^-)$, and $Xi(1820)(J^p=3/2^-)$. We compute the Dalitz plot density of $(d^2sigma/dM_{K^+K^-}dM_{K^-Lambda}$ at 4.2 GeV$/c$) and the total cross sections for the $K^-pto K^+K^-Lambda$. Employing the parameters from the fit, we present the cross sections for the two-body $K^-pto K^+Xi(1690)^-$ reaction near the threshold. We also demonstrate that the Dalitz plot analysis for $p_{K^-}=1.915 sim2.065$ GeV/c makes us to explore direct information for $Xi(1690)^-$ production, which can be done by future $K^-$ beam experiments.
