Mt. Fuji in the morning seen from Lake Ashi

This is Mt. Fuji as veiwed from Moto-Hakone by Lake Ashinoko. The dark forest on the right is Hakone Shrine precincts. This site was called Hakone Gongen before the Japanese government instituted a policy in 1868 separating Buddhism and Shinto. The name Hakone Gongen appears in many ancient tales such as the Tale of The Soga written in the Kamakura Period. The mountain on the left is the foot of Mt. Mikuni, one of the outer moutain range of Hakone. This scene of Mt. Fuji behind the lake and the mountains is famous.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐44‐0]

Lake Ashi

This photo captures the old town of Motohakone, with Mt. Komagadake viewed from Sainogahara by Lake Ashinoko. It is known that Sainogahara had many stone towers and stone Buddhas druing the Edo Period according to Tokaido Hakone Sanchu-zu (Ukiyoe; Color woodblock print of Hakone's everyday life in Edo period by Gountei Sadahide, 1863). This photo was taken after 1868 when Haibutsukishaku (anti-Buddhist movement at the beginning of the Meiji era) took place and many stones were destroyed or broken .==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐32‐0]

The shore of Lake Ashi

This is not Lake Ashinoko, but Gora Park opened in August, 1914 as viewed from its fountain pond. The park was built as the central development project of the Gora area by Odawara Electric Railway (present day Hakone Tozan Railway). The park was designed by Shichigoro Ishhiki and is known as the first rock garden in the French style. The mountain behind the forest is Mt. Sounzan.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number96‐9‐0]

Statues of Enmeijizo (giving a long-life) by Lake Ashi

This is Enmei Jizo in autumn, 1871 after Haibutsukishaku (anti-Buddhist movement at the beginning of the Meiji era). Compared with the image in catalogue #5365, the figure's halo is broken, the accompanying jizo figures on the side are gone, and the stone lanterns have been destroyed. There were many stone Buddhas and stone towers as well as this Enmei Jizo in Tokaido Hakon Sanchuzu, documented by a ukiyoe print made by Sadahide Goun during Edo era. It is reported that many were thrown into the lake.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number90‐45‐0]

Lake Ashi

The Hakone Imperial Villa is visible on top of the hill of Dogashima. It was built in 1886 as a villa for Emperor Meiji. This site had been called Dogashima (Dogashima- the island of tower) because there was a tower at the Hakone Gongen Shrine in the ancient times. The imperial villa was built because this is the best location to see the inverted reflection of Fuji on the furface of Lake Ashinoko. Also, this site is close enough to Tokyo to avoid the summer heat. This site is now named Onshi Hakone Park.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number89‐6‐0]

Lake Ashi

Viewing northwest from Mt. Kurakake. This photo was taken after 1886, as Hakone Imperial Villa is visible on top of the mountain of Dogashima Island. It appears the date of the photo is later than mid-Meiji, as more houses are seen in Hakone than in catalogue #2972. The mountains at the back right are Momagadake and Kamiyama. The peninsula on the left is Mt. Hatabiki.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:A. Farsari, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number82‐26‐0]

Lake Ashi

This is the post town of Hakone, with Lake Ashinoko, as seen from what was once Hakone barrier station. As the power lines installed in 1873 from Tokyo to Nagasaki are visible, this photo must have been taken after that. The thatched roofs of honjin are seen. The round, wooded mountain is Mt. Hatabiki. Behind it is Mt. Kurakake which is a part of the outer mountain range of Hakone. A child is looking at the lake.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number80‐17‐0]

Mt. Fuji seen from Lake Ashi

This photo has almost the same composition as that of catalogue #5080. It captures Mt. Fuji viewed from Motohakone on Lake Ashinoko. It gives the impression of the mountain emerging from the sunset. The compositon with the lake in the foreground, the forest of Hakone Shrine on the right, the foot of Mt. Mikuni on the left, and the cone-shaped Mt.

Lake Ashi

This is the post town of Hakone as seen from what was once the Hakone barrier station. The buildings on the banks of Lake Ashinoko are part of the thatched roofed building complex, the honjin. The large structures with thatched roofs to the right are officially appointed inns (Honjin). Feudal lords stayed or rested here during the Sankinkoutai (A bi-annual period of madatory alternate residence in Edo for feudal lords, known as Daimyo). The mountain in the background is Mt. Kurakake. There appear to be craftsmen looking at the lake in the foreground.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:R.

The compositon with the lake in the foreground, the forest of Hakone Shrine on the right, the foot of Mt. Mikuni on the left, and the cone-shaped Mt.

Lake Ashi seen from Hakone Shrine

This is a byobu torii gate located at a crossing at present-day National route 1 after going down Gongen Slope after going up the Old Hakone Highway from the post town of Hata. This is a scenic point where Lake Ashinoko and the village of Moto-Hakone can be seen as well as the traffic hub. There seemed to have been teahouses and there are many photos taken at this location. One of the reasons for that is because the photography equipment was quite heavy those days and many photos were taken at the resting spots.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐64‐0]

Lake Ashi

This photo depicts the Dogashima area of Hakone post town in the north of Mt. Kurakake. Since Hakone Imperial Villa is visible on top of the mountain of Dogashima, this photo was taken after 1886. Buildings, such as honjins, still remain. The post town keeps the same atmosphere as at the end of the Edo Peiod. The mountain on the right is Komagadake, and Mt. Kamiyama, the highest mountain in Hakone, is behind it.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐59‐0]

Lake Ashi

This is the post town of Hakone as seen from what was once the Hakone barrier station. The two-storied building projecting into Lake Ashinoko is the Hafuya Inn (present day Hakone Hotel). The large structures with thatched roofs to its right are officially appointed inns (Honjin) for the feudal lords (Daimyo) and other noblemen. They are from the left, Kawada Honjin, Koma Honjin, Ishiuchi Honjin, and Amano Heizaemon Honjin. The mountain on the left is Mt.

If the Imperial Villa on the peninsula projecting in the lake on the right side of the photo can be seen, it was taken after 1886. However, it is outside of the photo, and therefore, cannot be verified. The triangular mountain before Mt. Fuji is Mt. Mikuni (alt. 1,102m), one of the outer mountain range of Hakone.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number47‐19‐0]

Ashino Lake and Mt. Fuji from the shore near the present Hakone Elementary School. To the right at the foot of the mountains is Hakone Shrine. It is a typical photo introducing Hakone.

Lake Ashi

Lake Ashino and the Sekisho of Hakone can be seen to the left. The Sekisho of Hakone was famous as a place to guard the Tokaido, together with the Sekisho of Arai. It was established with a double fence built in the lake. To the distance is the Honjin where the warrior lords stayed during trips back and forth to Edo.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number31‐73‐0]

Statues of Enmeijizo (giving a long-life) by Lake Ashi

In Hakone, a movement to destroy Buddhist statues was seen after the official separation of Shinto and Buddhist rituals in 1868, and the Buddhist images by Ashino Lake were also damaged. In the picture, a tragic scene with a broken halo and the stone lantern torn down can be seen. This jizo still exists at Tokujoin in Odawara.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number24‐23‐0]

Statues of Enmeijizo (giving a long-life) by Lake Ashi

This is Enmei Jizo around 1867 before Haibutsukishaku (anti-Buddhist movement at the beginning of the Meiji era). Compared with the figure in catalogue #4603 taken after Haibutsukishaku, the intact halo, flanking jizo figures, and the stone lanterns are extant. According to Tokaido Hakone Sanchuzu printed in 1867 by Sadahide Gountei, there once existed many stone Buddhas and towers at Sainogahara on the shore of Lake Ashinoko.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:F.
