The Kegon Falls

Kegon Falls is one of the three major waterfalls of Japan, along with Nachi Falls (Wakayama Prefecture) and Fukuroda Falls (Ibaragi Prefecture). It is roughly 97m high. Local resident Hoshino Gorobei built the road along the basin of the falls in 1900 and opened a teahouse. The elevator currently in service started operation in in 1930. Fujimura Misao committed suicide here in 1903.==Date:about 1877, Place:Nikko, Photo:F. Beato/R. Stillfried, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number96‐76‐0]

              Five-story pagoda at Hokanji Temple

              The five-story pagoda of Hokanji Temple is viewed facing east. There are many visitors on the temple approach, and a gas light is visible. The pagoda, also called Yasaka Tower, was built in 1440 by Ashikaga Yoshinori and underwent major repair work in 1618. Featuring a tiled roof, it is 40m tall and 5.5m wide. This may have been taken by the British photographer H. G. Ponting.==Date:1904, Place:Kyoto, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐33‐0]

                  A deformed rock in Matsushima Bay

                  This is a magnificient view of the famous Zaimoku Island, an interesting geological arch formed by erosion. The layered sedimentary rock of this island teaches us much about the origins of Matsushima Bay. Unfortunately, the arch was partially destroyed by an earthquake in 1969. Then an off-shore earthquakein 1978 in Miyagi Prefecture destroyed what remained, and no geographical elements depicted in this photo can be seen any longer.==Date:1904, Place:Matsushima, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐54‐0]

                    Going down the Hozu River

                    A yakata boat descending Hozu River is seen from the northern bank. The Kyoto Railway Company tracks and a tunnel are visible on the right. People took the approximately 16km boat ride from Hozu Town in Kameoka to Togetsu Bridge in Arashiyama. The river boats that carried lumber and goods from Tanba Kameoka to Kyoto were converted to leisure boats at the end of the Meiji Period when the Kyoto Railway was established. This photograph was taken sometime after August 1899, when the line between Kyoto and Sonobe opened.==Date:1904, Place:Kyoto, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐11‐0]

The Kanrantei Teahouse in the Momohama Period (late 16th century) architecture style, a Designated Cultural Asset of Miyagi Prefecture, is visible in the distance, just to the left side of the island.
