Maikono-hama coast

Maikono-hama coast

Maikonohama Beach stretches about 1.7 km along the Seto Inland Sea. Located in the western part of present-day Tarumi Ward, it was famous from ancient times as a scenic point with white sand and pine trees. Utagawa Hiroshige made many ukiyoe prints depicting the scenery here. This photograph captures the area around the Old Saigoku Highway (present-day National Route #2), facing west. Taken from the mid- to late-Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐69‐0]

      Minatogawa

      Minato River is flowing at a high level on the left and pine trees line the road. The river was not only troublesome because of the danger of flooding but also because it formed a barrier between the old town of Hyogo and Kobe, which was growing rapidly after opening of the port. After the diversion of the river to the west in 1901, the area became Mitanogawa Park and an entertainment district called Shinkaichi.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number56‐6‐0]
