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]

Shinkyo Bridge,the Daiyagawa River

Shinkyo Bridge spans Daiya River at the entrance to Nikko-Sannai. The bridge is also called Jabashi (Snake Bridge), referring to the legend that the priest Shodoshonin, when founding Nikko, crossed the river by walking over two big snakes released by Shinja-Daio. The bridge in this photograph was washed away by a flood in 1902. Poles holding power lines are visible.==Date:1904, Place:Nikko, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐9‐0]

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 Road

This is the view from the present-day Iriuda in Odawara City and Yamasaki in Hakone-machi when facing Yumoto. The road is Tokaido Highway (present-day National Route 1) and a cart, rickshaw, and pails are visible. Three children, possibly brothers and sister, are standing. The telegraph pole is on the right. Thus, this photo was taken after 1873 when the line was placed between Tokyo and Nagasaki.==Date:1904, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐8‐0]

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]

Post town at the lakeside

There are no clues to estimating the location of the photo, but from a comparison with other pictures, it is probably the area around Lake Ashino. In any case, it is a shukuba city bustling with energy. This photo is also beautiful as a landscape picture.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number37‐75‐0]

Lake Ashi

The screen torii on the way down with a view of Ashino Lake looking towards Hakone Shrine. At present, only the monument is left standing next to a gasoline station. Many pictures use this angle, but the hut to the right of the torii indicates that this photo was taken in the early Meiji Era.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:F.

HAKONE

A photo of Hakonejuku from near the remains of Hakone sekisho (checking station). The building to the left is Hafuya Hotel, with remains of honjin (the lodgings of warrior lords) in the rear.

Old town by lake ashinoko

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]

Valley at yumoto
