This photo of Mount Koya was taken before the building burned down in 1926, and it bears a souvenir stamp commemorating the postcard owner climbing the steps of the mountain. 

This postcard contains pre-WWII Japanese language format, read from right to left. The front text says "Famous Sights of Mount Koya", with descriptions reading "Kondo (Golden Hall): As the general main hall of the entire mountain, its splendor and beauty are unmatched in the world." and "A 16-foot (jōroku) statue of Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha) carved by Kōbō Daishi himself, along with many other National Treasures." and the back says "Postcard".
