"Koban" is the Japanse style police box for keeping communities safe.
The officer has many roles other than safe-keeping; providing maps & directions to the citizens, lost&founds, making crime reports of thefts/burglers.
Koban is now popular internationally. Many countries dispatch their officers to Japan to study this system.
Type: Sub-Station (not always manned)

Visit Instructions:
To log a visit, you must post a photo of you in front of the building described, with your GPS in the photo. No drive by photos.
I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
