Owaku-dani Valley

Owakudani is the place where Chuo-Shinzan of Hakone Volcano erupted. A considerable amount of hydrogen sulfide gas is emitted. Thus, normal plants cannot survive. This photo depicts the rough rocky valley. The person in the lower right shows the vastness of the area. At present, this scene can be observed from the Hakone ropeway.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐66‐0]

Owaku-dani Valley

Erwin von Baltz, who came to Japan as a professor at Tokyo Medical School in 1876, had the idea of using the hot spring of Owakudani for medial rehabilitation. He proposed to the Department of Internal Affairs to have a large bath facility built. This proposal was turned down, and Baltz disappointedly went back to Germany. In this photo, there is a man heading toward a shack. Above steam is emitted.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐54‐0]

Owaku-dani Valley

Owakudani is the crater formed by the erruption of Mt. Hakone. Until the beginning of Meiji, it was called Ohjigoku (Big Hell) and was believed to a place where spirits dwell. When Emperor and Empress Meiji spent time at Naraya Hotel of Miyanoshita in 1873, they thought it was unpleasant to have hell nearby, and therefore Ojigoku was renamed Owakudani. Some people are visible. The mountain on the left is Kanmuridake.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number47‐15‐0]

Owaku-dani Valley

Owakudani used to be called Ojigoku (meaning great hell), but on the occasion of the visit of the Emperor Meiji in 1874, it was renamed Owakudani to avoid the name of hell. So, this photo was taken after 1874. The mountain to the left is the highest mountain in Hakone, Kamiyama.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number5‐13‐0]
