Tonosawa Spa

Looking upstream the Hayakawa Valley from approximately where the old Hakone Tourist Bureau was located. The building in the centre is Shin-Tamanoyu Inn, opened around 1887. Teizo Hori, the representative of Tonosawa Village, gave Tamanoyu Inn to Takashi Koyasu, the owner of the Yomiuri Newspaper, who built Shin (New)-Tamanoyu Inn. The street on the left, for cart traffic, opened between Tonosawa and Miyanoshita in 1887.

Oyamashuku was a post town located on the northeastern edge of Shizuoka Prefecture at the northern foot of Ashigara Pass. The pass was an important transportation link on Yagurazawa Okan Road. The house in the centre with the sign Itsuya may be an inn, and a teahouse is visible on the right. A house with a kabuki gate is also visible. This may be the Takenoshita district, where there were many inns. The inscription style suggests that this is the work of Felix Beato.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:F.

Honjin,an officially appointed inn for daimyo,in a post town

A honjin (officially appointed inn) is a place of lodging for war lords, officials of the Shogunate and the aristocracy. The origin is derived from Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who raised a plaque at his lodging on the way to Kyoto. The characteristics are spacious grounds with a gate entrance and rooms in the upper tier. The honjin developed with the sankinkotai (warlord's alternate-year residence in Edo), and its managers were allowed to have last names and to wear swords.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number13‐24‐0]
