        A row of Japanese cedar trees along the Nikko Road

        The Nikko Highway is lined with cedar trees. Nikko was known for heavy rainfall, and its streets tended to get muddy, creating problems for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The photograph captures rickshaws, vendors, travelers, people with umbrellas, and an electric pole behind them.==Date:1904, Place:Nikko, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐57‐0]

          The cedars along Nikko Highway were donated by Matsudaira Masatsuna on the 33rd anniversary of the death of Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. The building visible in the background probably stands near Oiwake Jizo. This area was beautiful at the time. The sky is visible between the trees. It is said that people could walk here by the light of the moon and stars.==Date:1904, Place:Nikko, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐7‐0]

            Mt. Asama (2568m) as seen from the post town of Kutsukake, one of the three post towns of Asama-Negoshi. The Nakasendo Highway passes the southern foot of the mountain. It was after the opening of the first road built as part of the Seven Route Construction Project of Nagano Prefecture in 1883 that carriage traffic appeared. The stream is Yukawa.

              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]

                  Northeastern view of Mt. Fuji from the terraced bank of Fuji River near Iwabuchi, Fujigawa-cho. Rice paddies stretch away from the foot of the hill, and the village of Iwabuchi is visible on the left. Fujigawa Bridge is visible beyond the pine trees on the right of Fuji River. Due to the rapid flow of the river, the bridge was washed away many times. The mountain on the left is Mt. Iwamoto, and pine trees line the other side of the river.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number64‐18‐0]
