Spring JPA Hibernate - how to access many-to-many table and join-table?

I would like to have access to related Many-to-many table, as well as to the join table.

That's how this is going to look in database:

enter image description here

So, let's say I would like to have access from "X" to "Y" and "Z".

Is it ok, to simply add "Z" with @ManyToMany, and "Y" with @OneToMany annotation?

Right now it is purely theoretical question, I'm just designing this app, and this looks kinda strange, so I would like to know if it is common and correct way to to that.

If you want to model your join table you can use ManyToOne on the join table when referring to X or Z and OneToMany on the side of X and Z. You would use ManyToMany when you don't want to model the join table.
