The cedar trees in Hakone and a man in military uniform. From the glass negative, it is known to be a photo taken by Shima Shukichi who owned a photo studio in Miyanaoshita from 1878.

In Motohakone, electricity started running only in 1905 and the telephone in 1912, so the photo was taken at a later period.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number5‐16‐0]
