A row of pine trees and teahouses along the Tokaido Road

This is a Felice Beato photograph taken somewhere between Hodogaya and Fujisawa, possibly near the post town of Totsuka famous for its pine trees. The shop signs read Issen-meshi (One Sen Food) and Ochazuke (Rice with Green Tea). This was probably made from one of the original plates that Raimund von Stillfried received from Beato and then later sold.==Date:unknown, Place:Fujisawa, Photo:F.

      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 seen from Katsukake

          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. This area was reserved for agricultural use, but there some old stands of fir trees.==Date:1904, Place:Nagano, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐62‐0]
            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]

              This is probably a photo by Beato taken because of his interest in the pine boulevard along the Tokaido.

                In 1717, the 8th Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune planted 100 cherry trees along the Mukojima riverbank, and the spot became popular for cherry blossom viewing. In 1883, when Okura Kihachiro planted an additional 1,000 trees here, the riverbank became full of cherry blossoms. Many simple teahouses were built along the riverbank for the use of visitors.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number47‐8‐0]

                  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]

                    Cherry trees and a teahouse

                    There are many old pictures taken of cherry blossom sites such as Yokohama (no. 55-12, 55-41) Ueno (no.53-15) and Mukojima (no.53-40). The location of this photo cannot be specified, but the atmosphere of the cherry blossoms is well conveyed with the tea shop, reed screen, etc.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number16‐37‐0]

                      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]
