Valley at yumoto

A view of Yumoto with the Haya River to the left from the right side of Asahi Bridge. The road between Yumoto and Miyanoshita by Yamaguchi Sennosuke of the Fujiya Hotel was completed at the end of 1887, and electric lights came to Yumoto in 1892, so from the rickshaws and lights in the photo, we can say that this was taken after 1892.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number7‐19‐0]

Valley at yumoto

The forerunner of the present national road No. 1 between Yumoto and Miyanoshita, in the area slightly upstream from Asahi Bridge in Yumoto. The river to the left is Haya River.

Kiga Spa

Since the new road opened in 1889 between Miyanoshita and Miyagino can not be seen, this is the spa town of Kiga prior to that time. Yakusuhido is where the torii gate is.

Kiga Spa

This photo captures the area around Kameya of Kiga Spa. The three-storied Jindairo of Kameya Inn is visible in the centre. Since the entrance of Kameya facing the new road between Miyanoshita and Miyagino can be seen, this photo was taken between 1889 and 1892 when the spa town of Kiga was lost in a fire.

The Miyanoshita Road

This road for the cars opened between Tonosawa and Miyanoshita in July, 1887 with the aid of Sennosuke Yamaguchi, the president of Fujiya Hotel, among others.

Waterfalls at Miyanoshita

This is the same spot of the Jakotsu River as illustrated in the Mannen Bridge of Hakone Sokokura Yumoto(1880) by Kiyochika Kobayashi.

Fujiya Hotel,Miyanoshita

This photo appears to be the same as that of catalogue #4103. However, there is a slight difference: a shadow which looks like a person appears to be a tree at the roadside in #4103. It cold be that many photos were taken at the same time. The mountains in the background also look different.

Yumoto Spa

The wooden truss Asahi Bridge over Hayakawa River, which was completed in September, 1885, is connecting to Fukuzumi Inn, and the station building of Odawara Coach Railway cannot be seen.
