33 Shirasuka - View out to sea through a dip in the hill, at the foot of which a daimyo's procession is passing; clumps of trees to right and left.

7 Fujisawa - The village by the edge of a stream, and a bridge leading to it, over which people are passing. In background, overlooking the village on a wooded hill, above the mists, stands the temple Yugi-o-ji; in the foreground a torii, and close to it four blind men following each other by the bank of the stream. This station was crowded with pilgrims visiting the famous temple at this station, and the neighbouring shrine.

The city of Shinagawa facing the sea

View of Tokyo from the northern edge of the Shinagawa Shuku (post town), where inns and rest stops for horses were located. The hill on the left indicates that this photograph was taken from around present-day Yatsuyama Bridge. The street in the foreground is probably the Tokaido Highway. This was taken by Felix Beato before train tracks were laid along the sea following land reclamation. Although Shinagawa Station was originally planned near Shinagawa Shuku, the local people were against the plan and eventually the station was built further north than originally planned. Photographs taken much later from the same angle indicate that the station was built behind the tree in the centre.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:F.
