Travelling in kago,palanquins along hakone highway

A procession of yamakago (mountain palanquins) and kumosuke (palanquin bearers) along the cedar path in Motohakone. This photo has been copied many times and is famous as the work of Kumosuke, but from the number of the negative in the first photo, this is believed to be by Kusakabe Kinbei. The pose suggests that the procession was arranged to make a souvenir photo.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number5‐35‐0]

    The Tokaido Highway near Suzukawa in Fuji City, facing west. One man is resting under the pine tree and another leaning on a pole. Pine trees line the highway, and houses with thatched roofs are visible in the background.

      A row of Japanese cedar trees along the Nikko Road

      The Nikko Highway is lined with cedar trees. Nikko was known for heavy rainfall, and its streets tended to get muddy, creating problems for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The photograph captures rickshaws, vendors, travelers, people with umbrellas, and an electric pole behind them.==Date:1904, Place:Nikko, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐57‐0]

        A row of Japanese cedar trees along the Nikko Road

        The cedars along Nikko Highway were donated by Matsudaira Masatsuna on the 33rd anniversary of the death of Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. The building visible in the background probably stands near Oiwake Jizo. This area was beautiful at the time. The sky is visible between the trees. It is said that people could walk here by the light of the moon and stars.==Date:1904, Place:Nikko, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐7‐0]

          This is probably a photo by Beato taken because of his interest in the pine boulevard along the Tokaido. The men on the road are probably not travelers but gardeners taking care of the pines.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:F.

            Farmhouse at miyagino

            Farm houses existed in Miyagino in the Meiji era in Ko, Kami, Sotokubo and Azuma, but since flat land was scarce in Ko and Kami, this photo is thought to be Sotokubo or Azuma (perhaps near the present Jonai Senior High School branch school) from the background. The laundry, agricultural products, farming tools and dress suggest that this farm was run by a small-scale land-owning farmer.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number7‐24‐0]

              Scene near the entrance of the cedar tree boulevard by Ashino Lake. A telephone pole is seen in the picture. Telecommunications came to Hakone post office only in July 1881, so the photo was taken after that. If this is an electric pole, the date of the photo goes back to 1912.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number7‐23‐0]

                The Hakone Road

                This is the old Hakone Highway near Ichinotorii gate at Moto-Hakone, and the cedar trees. The elctric pole is for the telegraph which opened between Tokyo and Nagasaki in 1873. Since the electric line was placed along the Tokaido Highway during the Edo Period, it is visible at Hakone Hachiri in the Old Tokaido Highway. Lake Ashinoko and Hakone Shrine can be seen between the trees. This photo was taken after 1873.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number68‐5‐0]

A new road stretching from this point to Yagami on the other side of the mountain was constructed in 1882 by the Himi Shindo Co. led by Matsuda Gengoro and eight others. This was Japan's first toll road, charging one sen a person.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number109‐31‐0]
