An inn in Oyama

Oyamashuku was a post town located on the northeastern edge of Shizuoka Prefecture at the northern foot of Ashigara Pass. The pass was an important transportation link on Yagurazawa Okan Road. The house in the centre with the sign Itsuya may be an inn, and a teahouse is visible on the right. A house with a kabuki gate is also visible. This may be the Takenoshita district, where there were many inns. The inscription style suggests that this is the work of Felix Beato.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:F.

A photo taken at Saijoji Temple, Mt. Daiyu (located in present-day Minami Ashigara City). Priests, chigo (children in a Buddhist procession) and donated bells are seen in the photo. The tengu (long-nosed goblin) is the symbol of Mt. Daiyu. This statue does not exist at present, probably due to contribution to the government during World WarⅡ. This photo may date back to the mid-Meiji era. Chigo wore hakama (long kimono trousers) before World WarⅡ.==Date:unknown, Place:Minamiashigara, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number5‐27‐0]
