An entrance to Mt. Suwa

The torii gates of Suwa Shinto Shrine are on the left. The restaurant Tokiwaro, frequented by men-of-letters and politicians, is on the hillside. The observation deck above the restaurant commands a panoramic view of the city and harbour as well as Kii Peninsula and Awaji Island in the distance. The photographs taken from this spot appear in photograph albums, postcards, and guidebooks. The present-day Venus Bridge connects the original observation deck with a new one built above it.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number56‐33‐0]

        An entrance to Mt. Suwa

        Torii gates on the approach to Suwa Shinto Shrine. This was the foremost Shinto shrine of the area since ancient times, and Mt. Suwa, visible to the right (east), was named after it. The shrine compound was designated as a park in 1873, and a hot spring said to have been discovered by an Englishman opened nearby. The sign advertising Needles, Hair Dressing, Hair Oil indicates that this is a general store as well as a hair salon.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number56‐17‐0]
