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]

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]

Since the telegraph pole made in 1873 between Tokyo and Nagasaki is present, and therefore, this photo was taken after that time. The cobblestone paved road was renovated between 1861 to 64. This site was a resting place and a man carrying rectangular wooden holder on his back and a worker are resting.

The Hakone field

This photo depicts Mt. Futago and the old Hakone Highway viewed from a teahouse in Yumoto.

The photos with the same layout with the telegraph pole (catalog #4414) must have been taken later than this one.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:A.
