Atsugi

This is probably the bank of Sagami River. Atsugi prospered as a post town on the old Yagurazawa Road, a branch of the Tokaido Highway for pilgrims to Taisan, and an important port on the river for the transport of goods from the Tokai region to Edo. This road also connected with Hachioji Highway to Fujisawa and Hiratsuka.==Date:unknown, Place:Atsugi, Photo:R.

A suspension bridge by the Koshu Road

This photograph depicts a river with a suspension bridge in the background. Neither the name of the bridge nor the location is known, but since the inscription says, Along the Koshu Highway, and the scenery around Katsura River was similar at the time, this seems to be the area east of Otsuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture. However, this site could not be positively identified in Yamanashi, so it may also be a scene along the highway on the Sagami side of the river.==Date:unknown, Place:Yamanashi, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number65‐13‐0]

Teahouses along the Koshu Road

The bank of Katsura River, which separated the feudal domains of Sagami and Kai along the old Koshu Highway (present-day Uenohara-machi in southeastern Yamanashi Prefecture), seen from the east side (Sagami side) of the river. The buildings are teahouses standing along the highway, the existence of which is reported in travel journals as early as the Tenpo Period (1830-44). The mountain station Suwa-no-Sekisho (Kuchidome Bansho) is up the slope on the right. Mt. Gongen of Nakura is visible on the other side of Katsura River.==Date:unknown, Place:Yamanashi, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number65‐10‐0]
