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]
