      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 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.

          Mt. Asama (2568m) as seen from the post town of Kutsukake, one of the three post towns of Asama-Negoshi. The Nakasendo Highway passes the southern foot of the mountain. It was after the opening of the first road built as part of the Seven Route Construction Project of Nagano Prefecture in 1883 that carriage traffic appeared. The stream is Yukawa. This area was reserved for agricultural use, but there some old stands of fir trees.==Date:1904, Place:Nagano, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐62‐0]

              This is probably a photo by Beato taken because of his interest in the pine boulevard along the Tokaido.

                  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]

                    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]

                      View from Honcho Dori 1-chome to 2-chome. Honmachi Dori served as Yokohama's main street from the opening of the port, and many large trading companies had offices here. The fireproof warehouse-style building on the right is Hiranuma Shoten, a charcoal shop standing on the corner of 2-chome. The Western-style building next door is Tanaka Shinshichi Shoten.==Date:unknown, Place:Yokohama, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number48‐130‐0]
