湯本の遠景で、明治10年に建てられた福住楼の洋館金泉楼が見えないので、それ以前の写真と分かる。左の須雲川と右の早川が合流する辺りは、現在は湯本の中心地だが、当時は畑が主で、集落は北側に見えるに過ぎない。A distant view of Yumoto without the Western-style building, Kinsenro, of the Hotel Fukujuro which was built in 1878, which means that the photo was taken before that time. The area where Sugumo River to the left meets Haya River to the right is the centre of Yumoto, but in those days there were many agricultural fields, and villages can only be seen to the north
