Lake Ashi

Lake Ashi

This is the post town of Hakone as seen from what was once the Hakone barrier station. The two-storied building projecting into Lake Ashinoko is the Hafuya Inn (present day Hakone Hotel). The large structures with thatched roofs to its right are officially appointed inns (Honjin) for the feudal lords (Daimyo) and other noblemen. They are from the left, Kawada Honjin, Koma Honjin, Ishiuchi Honjin, and Amano Heizaemon Honjin. The mountain on the left is Mt. Kurakake, and Hakone Pass is located to the right.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐34‐2]

    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]

      Teahouses along the Koshu Road

      The bank of Katsura River, which separated the feudal domains of Sagami and Kai along the old Koshu Highway (present-day Uenohara-machi in southeastern Yamanashi Prefecture), seen from the east side (Sagami side) of the river. The buildings are teahouses standing along the highway, the existence of which is reported in travel journals as early as the Tenpo Period (1830-44). The mountain station Suwa-no-Sekisho (Kuchidome Bansho) is up the slope on the right. Mt. Gongen of Nakura is visible on the other side of Katsura River.==Date:unknown, Place:Yamanashi, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number65‐10‐0]

        The screen torii on the way down with a view of Ashino Lake looking towards Hakone Shrine. At present, only the monument is left standing next to a gasoline station. Many pictures use this angle, but the hut to the right of the torii indicates that this photo was taken in the early Meiji Era.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:F.

              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]

                Old town by lake ashinoko

                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]

Myogi spread in the background.==Date:unknown, Place:Gunma, Photo:Kusakabe Kinbei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number38‐57‐0]
                      The Hakone post town

                      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]
