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]

The Hakone field

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.

An inn in Oyama

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.

A row of pine trees and teahouses along the Tokaido Road

This is a Felice Beato photograph taken somewhere between Hodogaya and Fujisawa, possibly near the post town of Totsuka famous for its pine trees. The shop signs read Issen-meshi (One Sen Food) and Ochazuke (Rice with Green Tea). This was probably made from one of the original plates that Raimund von Stillfried received from Beato and then later sold.==Date:unknown, Place:Fujisawa, Photo:F.

Nakasendo Usui Pass

The range on the former Nakasendo, on the borders of Sakamoto of Matsuida-cho in Gunma prefecture and Karuizawa of Karuizawa-cho in Nagano Prefecture. It was an important cross road connecting the Kinai and Kanto areas via Shinshu. Because it was a difficult path, a new Usui range road was built, starting in 1884 and completing in 1886. Three waitresses look in the direction of the camera in front of the tea house to the right.==Date:unknown, Place:Gunma, Photo:Kusakabe Kinbei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number38‐53‐0]

Wisteria trellis at a teahouse,the Nakasendo Road

A resting spot for people walking along the Nakasendo. The wisteria trellises seen from the teahouse were famous, and many came to see them. There is an English caption by the compiler of the album, but it should be spelled Blossoms. A typical Japanese spelling error.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number25‐73‐0]

Old hakone highway near yumoto teahouse

A view of the stone pavement on the old route of Hakone coming down from the tea house in Yumoto. Pictures at that time had to be taken with heavy glass panels and a darkroom in the shape of a telephone box carried by several men, so many pictures were taken at tea houses where the photography group was resting.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number7‐22‐0]
