A row of Japanese cedar trees along the Nikko Road

Imaichi was an important crossroad for transportation to Nikko, where Onari (Nikko) Kaido, Reiheishi Kaido, and Aizunishi kaido meet. Cedar trees dedicated by Matsudaira Masatsuna to commemorate the 33rd anniversary of the death of Tokugawa Ieyasu stand along these roads. The striped pattern of sun rays coming from between the branches of the cedar trees can be seen.==Date:unknown, Place:Imaichi, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number8‐24‐0]

      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]

              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]

                    Travellers in kago,a palanquin

                    The palanquin seen in this photo is a simple one called yamakago . The cedar trees in the background are probably those of Nikko or Hakone. The procession of palanquins is not on the road, creating an unnatural atmosphere. This was probably a dramatization for the photo.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number18‐16‐0]
