The torii gate on the approach to Hakone Shrine

This is the Byobu Torii Gate stading at the entrance of Hakone Shrine after going down Gongen Slope of the old highway. There used to be a shack (possibly an amazake shop) on the right side of the gate during the Meiji Period. Instead, there is a shack-like place with just straw mat. Although there are many photos teken from the same angle, it is interesting to see the slight difference in each one.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number65‐20‐0]
