Minatogawa Shrine

The main gate of Minatogawa Shinto Shrine seen from what is now Kobe Station, the starting point of the Tokaido Line in Chuo Ward. Probably taken in the mid-Meiji Period. The theater on the right is Daikoku-za, renovated in 1890. An ultra-modern lamp is installed at the front. This area was formerly an entertainment quarter bristling with shacks for plays, musume gidayu, acrobats, restaurants and so on.==Date:unknown, Place:Kobe, Photo:A.

    The racecource in Ueno Park

    The horse race track was built at Ueno Park in 1884 by filling in the area surrounding Shinobazu Pond. The left side of the fence next to the cherry trees is a one mile stretch. Horse racing was conducted not for gambling but for sheer entertainment. It is said that the Emperor's Cup started at this race track. The torii gate visible in the centre is part of Toshogu Shrine.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐51‐0]

                      The former first torii of the Hakone Shrine and the all-night lamp, with people in working costumes carrying balancing poles.
