The Hakone post town

The Hakone post town

The Hakonejuku from the Mishima-cho towards the direction of Odawara. It was a small shukuba with a population of 5000 and 150 houses, but it had six Honjin (lodgings for the provincial lords), which was the largest numbers together with Hamamatsu. The Hakone summer palace can be seen to the left in the hills which was completed in 1886.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Kusakabe Kinbei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number40‐16‐0]

    Mt. Asama seen from Katsukake

    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]

      The Hakone post town and a girl in a palanquin

      This is the view from Shin-machi of the post town of Hakone when facing Hakone checkpoint. The mountain behind is Komagadake. The street where the palanquin men are is Tokaido Highway (present-day National Route 1). The house on the right is facing toward southwest and a child and an old man are enjoying the sun. Judging from their clothes, it appears to be either late autumn or early spring. The girl on the palanquin is probably a tourist.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐25‐0]

        Ida River near Nakasendo Wada

        Wada village of Chiisagata gun located in the upper stream of the Yorita River is presently a typical Kaso village (most of the villagers have gone to the city to work, with a drastic population decrease), with remnants of the juku of the Nakasendo during the middle ages. Wada range is known to be the most difficult pass on the Nakasendo from the past.==Date:unknown, Place:Nagano, Photo:Kusakabe Kinbei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number38‐44‐0]

          Post town at the lakeside

          There are no clues to estimating the location of the photo, but from a comparison with other pictures, it is probably the area around Lake Ashino. In any case, it is a shukuba city bustling with energy. This photo is also beautiful as a landscape picture.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number37‐75‐0]

            A photo of Hakonejuku from near the remains of Hakone sekisho (checking station). The building to the left is Hafuya Hotel, with remains of honjin (the lodgings of warrior lords) in the rear. Where Ashino Lake can be seen in the photo is at present a pier for tourist boats. The electric poles indicate that this was taken after 1881.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number9‐9‐0]

              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 post town

                A scene in Hakone. The four houses in the centre are honjin (main lodgings) used by the feudal lords when they paid visits to Edo. The forefront is the Hafuya Hotel, which was absorbed into the Fujiya Hotel Group and later became the Hakone Hotel. To the right is Ashino Lake. In the background is Mt.Daikan and Kurakake on the left.==Date:Early Meiji, Place:Hakone, Photo:Kusakabe Kinbei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number3‐41‐0]

                    The Hakone post town

                    This is the post town of Hakone viewed from Mishima-cho when facing Odawara-cho. Since the telegraph pole placed between Tokyo and Nagasaki in 1873 is visible, and the Hakone Imperial Villa at Dogashima by Lake Ashinoko in 1886 cannot be seen, this photo is assumed to have been taken between those periods. The post town of Hakone has not changed since the Edo Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number65‐19‐0]
                      Lake Ashi

                      Lake Ashi

                      This is the post town of Hakone, with Lake Ashinoko, as seen from what was once Hakone barrier station. As the power lines installed in 1873 from Tokyo to Nagasaki are visible, this photo must have been taken after that. The thatched roofs of honjin are seen. The round, wooded mountain is Mt. Hatabiki. Behind it is Mt. Kurakake which is a part of the outer mountain range of Hakone. A child is looking at the lake.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number80‐17‐0]
