Public telephones
There are many public telephones in train stations, hotels, department stores, the city hall, hospitals, major roads and other public places. They are either grey or green in color.
Lift the receiver, insert a 10 JPY or 100 JPY coin or insert a telephone card, and dial the number after you hear the dial tone. If you use a 100 JPY coin, you will not receive change, so please be careful. If you hear a beeping sound during the call, this indicates that the call will end soon, so insert more coins or your telephone card.
Telephone cards are available in 500 JPY and 1,000 JPY varieties, and can be purchased at convenience stores or at vendors in stations.
Public telephones capable of making international calls will indicate "International and Domestic."
