Nice card, beautiful building but no information about it or it's location. If you google about 5 story pagodas in Japan, you'll probably get a few images with similar buildings. I still having some doubts but I believe this might be the Gojunoto, Nikko's five-story pagoda.
JP-1668291, sent by Junichiro.
This pagoda is located in front the main entrance of the Toshogu Shrine, and is one of Nikko's great attractions. This sanctuary is part of the UNESCO WHS “Shrines and Temples of Nikko” that has been included on the ist since 1999.
The original five-storey pagoda was donated by a daimyō in 1650, but it was burned down during a fire, and was rebuilt in 1818. Each storey represents an element–earth, water, fire, wind and aether (or void)–in ascending order. Inside the pagoda, a central shinbashira pillar hangs from chains to minimize damage from earthquakes. in: wikipedia
