Nagasaki Habour seen from Mt. Hoshitori

Nagasaki Port viewed from Mt. Hoshitori (Mt. Ohira at the time of the photo) overlooking the Oura foreign settlement. The promenade by Dejima built in 1867 and a corral for horses can be seen. Shinchi is to its right and the British Consulate is behind the foreign settlement. At the mouth of Urakami River in the back of the bay lies Urakami-Shinden (present-day Mori-machi).

Viewing cherry blossoms at Koganei Banks

People are enjoying the cherry blossoms from Koganei Bridge. The most beautiful scenery stretched for two kilometers upstream and two kilometers downstream from the bridge. It is not clear when the cherry trees were planted at Tamagawa Waterway because different documents give different dates. However, the Koganei Cherry Tree Monument (still existing near Koganei Bridge) puts it at 1737. Records show that Kawasaki Heiemon Sadataka, the caretaker of Musashino Shinden, and others planted cherry trees on both sides of the waterway near Koganei Bridge. Taken around 1897.==Date:about 1897, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number88‐33‐0]
