Japanese Stork Mailbox
Animal Mailbox January 11th, 2008
When I don’t have the time to drive around and stalk mailboxes personally, I resort to the good old Google image search.
Here’s one I haven’t seen before (and I really was beginning to think I had seen them all) from a newsletter for the travel site johnnyjet.com

Hi, that mailbox is not private one.
It is belonging to JapanPost (www.post.japanpost.jp/english/), which
is recently privatized, and that kind of mailbox is settled at public
space.
Locations is here:

BTW, the written messages on mailbox top is translated as below: “Here, I will send happiness.”

This is one of the best ones I have seen here for a while.
Crazy Japanese characters!

I wonder if I can get one of those in the US.
