The approach to Hakone Shrine

The Ichino Torii Gate (the First Gate) of Hakone Shrine ca be seen at the end of the street. The shrine approach begins from the gate. This street is Tokaido Highway (present-day National Route 1) where ceder trees line along. Since the telegraoh pole is present, this photo must have been taken after 1873 when the line was placed between Tokyo and Nagasaki. The lake visible among the trees is Ashinoko and Hakone Shrine is behind it.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number47‐16‐0]
