Lake Ashi

Lake Ashi

This is the post town of Hakone as seen from what was once the Hakone barrier station. The buildings on the banks of Lake Ashinoko are part of the thatched roofed building complex, the honjin. The large structures with thatched roofs to the right are officially appointed inns (Honjin). Feudal lords stayed or rested here during the Sankinkoutai (A bi-annual period of madatory alternate residence in Edo for feudal lords, known as Daimyo). The mountain in the background is Mt. Kurakake. There appear to be craftsmen looking at the lake in the foreground.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:R.

    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]

          Lake Ashi

          This is the post town of Hakone, with Lake Ashinoko, as seen from what was once Hakone barrier station. As the power lines installed in 1873 from Tokyo to Nagasaki are visible, this photo must have been taken after that. The thatched roofs of honjin are seen. The round, wooded mountain is Mt. Hatabiki. Behind it is Mt. Kurakake which is a part of the outer mountain range of Hakone. A child is looking at the lake.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number80‐17‐0]

                  Lake Ashi

                  This photo depicts the Dogashima area of Hakone post town in the north of Mt. Kurakake.

Kamiyama, the highest mountain in Hakone, is behind it.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐59‐0]
