Near Hatayado,on the old Hakone Road

This photo depicts the Old Hakone Highway and Mt. Futago viewed from around the teahouse at Yumoto. Since the telegraph pole made in 1873 between Tokyo and Nagasaki is present, and therefore, this photo was taken after that time. The cobblestone paved road was renovated between 1861 to 64. This site was a resting place and a man carrying rectangular wooden holder on his back and a worker are resting. There are many photos like this one existing.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number93‐34‐0]

Mt. Futago seen from Yumoto

Futagoyama Mountain and the old Tokaido Highway viewed from around Yumoto Teahouse. This photo must have been taken after 1873 when the telegraph line was placed between Tokyo and Nagasaki because the telegraph line and the electric pole are visible. The stone pavement which was renovated extensively between 1861 and 1864 still remains. A worker and a woman carrying a wooden rack on the back are visible.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number86‐10‐0]

This photo depicts Mt. Futago and the old Hakone Highway viewed from a teahouse in Yumoto. Since the supporting wood for the telegraph line placed between Tokyo and Nagasaki in 1873 is sticking out of the pine tree and suppose it is for the electric pole to be made, it is probable that this photo was taken right after the line was placed. The photos with the same layout with the telegraph pole (catalog #4414) must have been taken later than this one.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:A.

This is the old post town of Hakone viewing Odawara-cho area from Mishima-machi. The town appear any difference from what it used to be during the Edo Period and the honjins (the inns for officers and feudal lords) still show what they uded to look like. Since Hakone Imperial Villa is visible on top of Dogashima, this photo was taken after 1886. The mountain on the right is Byobu, the one in the centre with plateau is Futago, and the large one on the left is Komagadake.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number48‐91‐0]
