A home in the cave,Dogashima Island

A home in the cave,Dogashima Island

This is the cave just before Shiraito Falls after going up the mountain road behind Yakushi-do after crossing Hayakawa River from Dogashima. It is reported that the famous Buddhist monk Musokokushi (1275-1351, a Zen priest and probably the most important figure in Japanese medieval garden design) practiced religious austerities during Muromachi Period. An old man and young sisters are standing at the entrance of the cave and someone appears inside. Sandals are being dried on the rock and the bloom and pail are placed at the entrance. It is possible that they used the water from the falls.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐21‐0]

    The Tamadare Falls

    The Tamadare Falls

    Judging from the condition of the trees, this appears to be the Tamadare Waterfall before it was incorporated as Takinomae Park in 1891. The young woman is possibly an employee of a nearby inn. The volume of water is abundant and this photo shows the force of the falls before the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, when half of the fall was destroyed. Currently the falls, which are in the garden of Tenseien Hotel, are open to the public.

      The Hakone post town and a girl in a palanquin

      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]

        A water mill at Hakone

        This is the northeastern view from the present-day parking lot of Miyagino Hojuin Temple. The water mill was taken place by a residential house, but the Setosawa Creek and the waterway on the left side of the water mill still exist today. The site where the palanquin men stand was the rice paddie until around 1975. The mountains far away are Myoujingadake and Hiuchidake.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:A.

            Rokumichijizo Statues,Hakone

            Rokumichijizo Statues,Hakone

            This is 3.2m magaibotoke (the largest in Kanto region during the Kamakura Period) carved into over seven meter high pyrozene andesite rock for jizo worship during Middle Ages. Although there is only one jizo here, this is called Rokudo (Six Way) Jizo because this is one of the group of stone buddhas around Shojingaike Pond which was regarded as the crossroad of Rokudo (lit. Six Road: Buddhist terminology meaning transmigration in the six paths of life). As there is no shack-like cover over the jizo, this photo was taken after 1878.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐27‐0]

                The Tamadare Falls,Yumoto Spa

                A group shot of six men and women in front of Tamadare Waterfall at Yumoto Spa. They could be guests of neaby inns as they are wearing yukata summer kimono normaly provided at inns. The volume of water is abundunt and the difference from present-day waterfall compared to the one prior to the Great Kanto Earthquake is evident. The rock above the man on the right still exists. This photo was taken after 1891 when the area was turned into Takinomae Yuen Park by the entrepreneur Takashi Koyasu.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number93‐42‐0]

                  The Tamadare Falls,Yumoto Spa

                  Tamasudare Falls in Okuyumoto. The waterfall is quite wide, but the present falls were dug out after the Great Kanto Earthquake, so the water flow decreased by half and the right half is pumped up by electricity. This photo was taken after it was made a park in 1890.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number19‐23‐0]
