Yuki Park Kofu Japan Sepia Postcard

This Yuki Park Kofu Japan postcard, likely 1918 to 1933, is a printed paper view showing a long building, a wooden cart, utility poles, and mountains.

The scene and English caption remain clear, with yellowing, edge nicks, corner creasing, and faint pencil notation on the back.

The English and Japanese place captions connect the scene to Kofu, making it a useful view for a regional Japanese postcard album.
