Ogasawara National Park Issued on 6 , 26 , 1973 (Showa 48)
In June 1973, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications issued two types of Ogasawara National Park stamps. Ogasawara National Park is a national park centered on the Ogasawara Islands in Tokyo. The total area of the designated area is 6,629ha, which is the smallest among the national parks in Japan, and the designated area of the park is entirely within Ogasawara Village, which is the only national park in Japan consisting of only a single administrative unit (municipalities). The Ogasawara Islands returned to Japan in 1968 (Showa 43) under the US military administration (1945-).
