The city of Shinagawa facing the sea

The city of Shinagawa facing the sea

View of Tokyo from the northern edge of the Shinagawa Shuku (post town), where inns and rest stops for horses were located. The hill on the left indicates that this photograph was taken from around present-day Yatsuyama Bridge. The street in the foreground is probably the Tokaido Highway. This was taken by Felix Beato before train tracks were laid along the sea following land reclamation. Although Shinagawa Station was originally planned near Shinagawa Shuku, the local people were against the plan and eventually the station was built further north than originally planned. Photographs taken much later from the same angle indicate that the station was built behind the tree in the centre.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:F.

    A view of a village in the mountains

    The Kamakura Highway (Misakaji) connecting the Kofu Basin in the south with Shizuoka is an old road dating back to ancient times. This photograph depicts the village of Fujinoki (present-day Misaka-machi, Fuefuki, Yamanashi Prefecture). Fujinoki was a tenma-shuku (a post town where travelers changed horses) on the Kofu Basin side, leading to the Misaka Pass of the Kamakura Highway. Misaka Pass is in the left background, viewed looking south from the Kofu Basin side. Nothing is known about the stone statue visible in the lower left.==Date:unknown, Place:Yamanashi, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐28‐0]

      The Hakone post town

      Looking toward Odawara from the south of Mishima in Hakonejuku. The houses have not changed from the Edo era. To the left of Ashino Lake in the hills, the Hakone Rikyu can be seen, so we know that this photo was taken after 1886. The cedar tree in the centre is a remainder of the sekisho (checking station).==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number5‐22‐0]

        This photo captures Mt. Fuji with Lake Ashinoko and the post town of Hakone in the foreground. The two-storied house with a gentle sloped roof in the centre is Hafuya (present-day Hakone Hotel), the pyramid shaped roofs on the left of it are, from the right, Matahara, Kawada, Koma, and Ishiuchi Honjins (officially appointed inns for feudal lords). The peninsulas on the left sticking out to the lake are, from the foreground, Hatabikiyama, Mikuniyama, and Nagao Pass just before Mt. Fuji can be seen.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐46‐0]

          Northern view of Mt. Fuji from the sand dune of Suzukawa in Fuji City. The pine trees crossing horizontally in the centre of the photograph mark the Tokaido Highway. Kawai Bridge lies between the two tall pine trees on the left and the thatched-roof house. Rice paddies stretch between the dune and the highway. The presence of train tracks indicate that this photograph was taken after the opening of the Tokaido Line in 1890.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number79‐17‐0]

            Women gazing at the town from Mt. Takashima,Yokohama

            Mt. Takashima was named after Takashima Kaemon, who had been contracted to reclaim the land from the sea for train tracks and who built a villa on the hill (present-day Takashima-dai) looking down on the railroad. The villa was completed in the 1880s, and its garden, which commanded a panoramic view of the city, was opened to the public.==Date:unknown, Place:Yokohama, Photo:A.
