Near Hanshin Ashiya Station, we found a mailbox that stares right at you when you’re about to cross the railroad crossing.
…? Hey, why are you facing this way?
Usually, mailboxes are
↑ installed facing this direction, right?
Isn’t it pretty unusual to see a mailbox installed facing the direction people are walking…!?
I mean, this is nice for people heading toward the railroad crossing, but for people coming from the crossing side…
aren’t they basically saying hello to the mailbox’s backside…? Is that okay…?
But if you look closely, it’s standing in the tiny space between the sidewalk line and the drainage channel, so maybe this was the only direction that made it safe to drop mail in.
And that was the story of a mailbox installed in a mysterious direction.
On the map, it’s around here↓
The address is 14 Kawanishicho, Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
