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]

On the right, the Great Buddha still has its halo.

                  The Hachiman Shinto Shrine and great ginkgo trees. Hachiman Shrine was first built in Yuigahama by Minamoto Yoriyoshi in 1063, but later it was moved to the present site at Mt. Kita by the Shogun Yoritomo. It became the guardian of Kamakura. The Shogun Sanetomo is said to have been assassinated by Kugyo in 1219 under the gigantic gingko tree to the left.(This shrine is designated as a natural monument by Kanagawa prefecture.)==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number7‐15‐0]

                    Travelling in kago,palanquins along hakone highway

                    A procession of yamakago (mountain palanquins) and kumosuke (palanquin bearers) along the cedar path in Motohakone. This photo has been copied many times and is famous as the work of Kumosuke, but from the number of the negative in the first photo, this is believed to be by Kusakabe Kinbei. The pose suggests that the procession was arranged to make a souvenir photo.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number5‐35‐0]
