Two Japanese women are squatting next to a bath, while a third sits in the water.

This is the same gorgeous onsen resort in Hakone as shown in Hakone 1880s • Two Women in Bathroom. See that article for detailed information.

We know that this photo was actually taken in Hakone, because a photo exists of this bathhouse with a title in the negative that identifies the location as Hakone.

Old Photos of Japan aims to be your personal museum for Japan's visual heritage and to bring the experiences of everyday life in old Japan to you.

To enhance our understanding of Japanese culture and society I track down, acquire, archive, and research images of everyday life, and give them context.

I share what I have found for free on this site, without ads or selling your data.

Your support helps me to continue doing so, and ensures that this exceptional visual heritage will not be lost and forgotten.

Thank you,
