Miyako Hotel Taxi to F. M. Trautz 都良宇津 1933 Postcard *

山本慶造 都タクシー 都良宇津

My research yielded no information regarding the sender, Yamamoto Keizo, nor any references to the "Kyoto Sanjo Miyako Hotel Nishi," nor his taxi business. Nevertheless, it is highly probable that this hotel has evolved into what is now known as the Westin Miyako Kyoto. Mr. Yamamoto likely managed a thriving taxi service, catering to both international and domestic travelers from this very hotel with Trautz and his associates as his frequent clients.

Upon close inspection of this postcard, it features an appealing embossed design depicting the rising sun above a rugged coastal landscape.
