Sirakawa-Go (sic) World Heritage
Very nice card, mailed from Tokyo with two different stamps, a clear normal postmark, and another larger, red, and equally clear special one. Trilingual blue airmail sticker affixed. In the title we say “sic” because this location seems usually to be spelled “Shirakawa”. Anyway, Grade: 1

Horyuji (Nara), Five-storied Pagoda
Not easy to tell based on the photo alone, but the caption says this is “The oldest wooden architecture in the world, constructed in the 600’s. About 32 meters high …” We are tempted to say it was 64 meters high when it was built, but the termites got half of it in the intervening 1400 years. But that’s not true, so we won’t say it. The card was mailed in (we think) 1985, with stamp and full postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20311278
Price: $3.00
Byodoin Temple, Uji
This card was mailed from Japan in 1960, but from a U.S. military facility, so it has a U.S. 5-cent stamp and that military postmark. Unfortunately that 5-cent stamp wasn’t enough, so there’s a “Postage Due 2 cents” mark in the address area. Clearly, the Smiths paid. Grade: 2

Code: 20311279
Price: $3.00
Nagoya Castle
This card was mailed from Japan in 1960, but from a U.S. military facility, so it has a U.S. 5-cent stamp and that military postmark. Unfortunately that 5-cent stamp wasn’t enough, so there’s a “Postage Due 2 cents” mark in the address area. Grade: 2

The Korakuen Park at Okayama
Thanks to Wikipedia for this: Kōraku-en (後楽園), is a Japanese garden located in Okayama, Okayama Prefecture. It is one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan, along with Kenroku-en and Kairaku-en. Korakuen was built in 1700 by Ikeda Tsunamasa, lord of Okayama. The garden reached its modern form in 1863. As for the postcard, it was mailed with stamp and postmark. We don’t know which year, but the writer was happy because they had just heard that Roosevelt was elected. So that narrows the options. Grade: 2
