Nunobiki Falls

Nunobiki Falls

Medaki waterfall of Nunobiki Falls, taken around the same time as photographs #2814 and #4240 (mid-Meiji Period). Today, more than a century later, it takes only a few minutes to reach this waterfall from Shin Kobe Station (Sanyo Shinkansen Line). The road on the left is now closed and the wooden bridge has been rebuilt in concrete. Despite the passage of time, the beautiful scenes of the changing seasons can still be enjoyed today.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number56‐31‐2]

    Nunobiki Falls

    Medaki waterfall at Nunobiki Falls, taken around the same time as photographs #2814 and 2827 (Medaki Waterfall of Nunobiki). The presence of the wooden bridge over the river and the teahouse and the absence of a water supply pump suggest that this was taken on the mid-Meiji Period. It seems to be a scene in summer, when many visitors came to enjoy the cool air.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:A.

      Nunobiki Falls

      Odaki of Nunobiki Falls in the mid-Meiji Period. Because the Odaki and Medaki waterfalls have the appearance of stretched cloth, people started to call them the waterfalls of Nunobiki (pulled cloth). The Nunobiki Amusement Park was built by a private company in 1872, and the area was subsequently developed for entertainment purposes. This was taken around the same time as photograph #2816 (Stone Stairs of Mt. Maya).==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number56‐10‐0]

        The Tamadare Falls,Yumoto Spa

        This photo was taken with almost the same angle as catalogue #2956, and thus, it was probably taken at the same time. One man is in the fall whereas four women are wearing yukata summer kimono looking at the cascade and cooling themselves. Since the way they are is unnatural, they may have been posed for the photograph. This was taken after 1891 when this waterfall area was made to be Takinomae Park.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐45‐0]

On the hillside to the left of the Takimichi (waterfall road) is a hot spring called Nunobiki Spa fed by boiling-hot, carbonated spring water from underground. There used to be many inns, restaurants, and teahouses along the road continuing from the northeast of Ikuta Shinto Shrine to this area. Many people visited here to enjoy the cool air during summer.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number56‐13‐0]

            Nunobiki Falls

            This is Medaki Waterfall of Nunobiki. This photograph is assumed to have been taken in Mid-Meiji Period around the same time as the photograph #2827 and #4240, as the wooden bridge which surrounds the river and the teahouse were already built. As the caption at the lower right says '1208. METAKI WATERFALL KOBE', this photograph was taken and sold by the photographer Kinbei Kusakabe of Yokohama.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number56‐21‐0]

                Medaki waterfall, probably taken from the wooden bridge portrayed in photograph #2814 (Medaki Waterfall of Nunobiki) taken in the mid-Meiji Period.

                  Medaki waterfall at Nunobiki Falls, taken sometime between the early and mid-Meiji Period. Although it is tinted differently, this is the same as photograph #2807, #4481 and #4682. The flow from Odaki to Medaki turns into the Shin Ikuta River and eventually pours into the sea. Many water mills for polishing rice were located downstream from this area.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number96‐45‐0]

                    Valley at yumoto

                    A view of Yumoto with the Haya River to the left from the right side of Asahi Bridge. The road between Yumoto and Miyanoshita by Yamaguchi Sennosuke of the Fujiya Hotel was completed at the end of 1887, and electric lights came to Yumoto in 1892, so from the rickshaws and lights in the photo, we can say that this was taken after 1892.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number7‐19‐0]

Visitors normally took the path on the right side of the river and then proceeded along the road to the left to Medaki waterfall. After that, they crossed a wooden bridge and negotiated the winding mountain path to Odaki waterfall.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number68‐4‐2]
