Abstract

<p>Yokohama, which was opened under the Treaty of Amity and Commerce between Japan and United States, prospered in the raw silk trade, and as a result of many foreigners staying in the settlement, the custom of summer vacation in the plateau propagated to Kanagawa Prefecture, which was Sagami Province. There are two highland areas in Kanagawa Prefecture, the Tanzawa Mountains and the Hakone Mountains, but Miyagase, which is located in the Tanzawa Mountains within the foreigner walking area, was already crowded with foreigners playing in the river from the end of the Edo period. It is probable that photographer Beato walked around Miyagase with his partner and painter Wirgman, and they also stepped into the Hakone Tokaido and Hakone Shichitodo outside the walking area. Beato took many photos and put them in his photo book “Japanese Landscapes”. His photographs were picturesque that viewers felt as beautiful as the picture, and it is thought that Beato created the groundwork that made foreigners attractive to Hakone. In this report, author would like to trace the highland resorts of Sagami along with Beato's photographs. Furthermore, we will look back on the efforts of people who made the foundation of Hakone as a world resort in the Meiji era.</p>
