Japanese Pay Phone
Japanese Pay Phones - in Tsukiji Station
Green!
Phone calls are timed, and 100yen gives you 2-3 minutes. Gotta keep putting in money as the timer counts down, or your call will get cut off.
Specific international phone cards are also accepted.
I have an AU W53CA cell-phone, so I have only used pay phones a couple times, when I didn’t have my keitai (aka cell phone).
I like the green colour.
Other notes:
I learned some chinese on the weekend from an online site called oneminutelanguages.com its a great resource to learn some stuff quickly.
I watched some movies: Italian Job, and Max Payne on the weekend.
My friend Yuki came over on Friday night and I cooked him pasta. I met him in Ottawa, then lived with him for 3 months when I first moved to Tokyo in 2006. It is his b-day on Nov 17th. I gave him a g-shock watch.
i wonder if people still use the public phones… since almost everyone has a keitai these days.
Well, the phone network is probably more solid compared to the cell network. In case of emergency, or for foreigners, phones are a good use.
