Japanese Koban

Tags:

Out on patrol

A Koban (交番) is a police box in Japan. It’s like your neighborhood police station but only miniaturized, very miniaturized. The officers stationed here are currently out on patrol. But one is free to use the phone inside.

I don’t think you’re allowed to make overseas calls though. ^^.

    One of the main reasons why Tokyo is such a safe place. They know their neighborhood well.

    We don’t have neighbourhood police boxes like that. We don’t see police walking on the streets here. They are always on bikes or inside their cruisers.
