Shrine among mountains

Shrine among mountains

A view from the Fujiya Hotel. The left is the Naraya Hotel, the front mountain is the Myojogatake, and the right corner is the Kumano Gongen. The Odo Bunko which was built in 1894 by Chamberlain, who stayed for a long period at the Fujiya hotel, cannot be seen right under the Gongen, so the photo was probably taken before that.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number46‐183‐0]
