Foreigner on a mountain path

Foreigner on a mountain path

From the width of the road and shape of the mountain, it is probably near the steel bridge of the present Hakone Tozan Railway. The road is the present national route no.1, and the pillar is probably the one that was built in 1892 as the second electric pole to be built on Japan. The same pillar stills stands on the road today.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number46‐181‐0]

    The Hakone Road

    The Hakone Road

    This is the view from the present-day Iriuda in Odawara City and Yamasaki in Hakone-machi when facing Yumoto. The road is Tokaido Highway (present-day National Route 1) and a cart, rickshaw, and pails are visible. Three children, possibly brothers and sister, are standing. The telegraph pole is on the right. Thus, this photo was taken after 1873 when the line was placed between Tokyo and Nagasaki.==Date:1904, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐8‐0]

        The entrance to Yumoto Spa

        This is around the bridge to the Old Hakone Toursit Hall after crossing Asahi Bridge which was moved in 1893. Two men with fishing gear, five women with yukata summer kimono, and three more people next to the electric pole, are visible on the car street from Tonosawa to Miyanoshita opened I 1887. The power line opened in 1892 and the line and the electric poles can be seen.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐22‐0]

          Near Hatayado,on the old Hakone Road

          This photo depicts the Old Hakone Highway and Mt. Futago viewed from around the teahouse at Yumoto. Since the telegraph pole made in 1873 between Tokyo and Nagasaki is present, and therefore, this photo was taken after that time. The cobblestone paved road was renovated between 1861 to 64. This site was a resting place and a man carrying rectangular wooden holder on his back and a worker are resting. There are many photos like this one existing.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number93‐34‐0]

            A wooden brifge in the mountains of Hakone

            There are many rivers and streams, big and small, in Hakone mountains. However, the major rivers are Hayakawa and Sukumo. It is difficult to tell which one this is, but judging from the width and the shapes of the rocks, it is probable that this is Sukumo River. The wooden bridge, whcih seems like just a log was placed, like this one can be seen in the photos of Dogashima and Kiga over Hayakawa River, but the sceneries of them appear different from this one.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐81‐0]
              Hotarujaya and Ichinose-bashi Bridge

              Hotarujaya and Ichinose-bashi Bridge

              Hotarujaya is viewed from the upstream side. Ichinose Bridge is on the right of the teahouse, and the handrail is visible through the trees. The road on the left is Nagasaki Road leading to Himi Pass. 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]

                A view of Irikita, Kazamatsuri, and the direction of Yamazaki in Hakone from the area near Kamiitabashi of Odawara City on the old Tokaido Highway (the present National Route 1). Pine trees remain in the same style at present, and the shape of the mountain has not changed. The river to the left is Haya River. The pine trees have been cut down due to construction, possibly for road expansion.==Date:unknown, Place:Odawara, Photo:F.

                  Old hakone highway near yumoto teahouse

                  A view of the stone pavement on the old route of Hakone coming down from the tea house in Yumoto. Pictures at that time had to be taken with heavy glass panels and a darkroom in the shape of a telephone box carried by several men, so many pictures were taken at tea houses where the photography group was resting.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number7‐22‐0]
                    The Hakone field

                    The Hakone field

                    This photo depicts Mt. Futago and the old Hakone Highway viewed from a teahouse in Yumoto. Since the supporting wood for the telegraph line placed between Tokyo and Nagasaki in 1873 is sticking out of the pine tree and suppose it is for the electric pole to be made, it is probable that this photo was taken right after the line was placed. The photos with the same layout with the telegraph pole (catalog #4414) must have been taken later than this one.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:A.

                      Usui Pass from Nakasendo Sakamoto Inns

                      Sakamoto juku is located at the eastern foot of the range, and the 600 meters distance from here (500 meters above sea level) to the range is a climb of 450 meters. Hotels line along the road with a width of 15 meters. The mountain that looks like a pile of rocks is the Funzan. This path leads to Usui Range.==Date:unknown, Place:Gunma, Photo:Kusakabe Kinbei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number38‐54‐0]
