Kiga Spa

Since the new road opened in 1889 between Miyanoshita and Miyagino can not be seen, this is the spa town of Kiga prior to that time. Yakusuhido is where the torii gate is. Before that are the buildings of Kameya Inn, and Jindairo is on the right. Matsuzakaya Inn is across from it on the other side of Susawa River. The building with a white wall on the left is Chokairo of Matsuzakaya Inn. Finally the one in the foreground is Sengokuya Inn. Hayakawa is visible on the right and one of the outer mountain ranges of Hakone, Myojingadake, is visible.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:A.

Kiga Spa

This photo captures the area around Kameya of Kiga Spa. The three-storied Jindairo of Kameya Inn is visible in the centre.

A wooden brifge in the mountains of Hakone

There are many rivers and streams, big and small, in Hakone mountains. However, the major rivers are Hayakawa and Sukumo. It is difficult to tell which one this is, but judging from the width and the shapes of the rocks, it is probable that this is Sukumo River. The wooden bridge, whcih seems like just a log was placed, like this one can be seen in the photos of Dogashima and Kiga over Hayakawa River, but the sceneries of them appear different from this one.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number59‐81‐0]

The view of Kiga Spa seen from a distance from a teahouse across Haya River. The same structure can be seen in the wood-block print by Kobayashi Kiyochika.
