Stylish koban police box in Ginza

There are more than 6000 small neighborhood police stations (kōban) in Japan, and some of them are really famous, being related to stories, movies, popular manga series or just because of their unusual architecture...

Here's an example of a kōban with a very stylish modern architecture (at least for such a small construction), located in Ginza, Tokyo, in front of the glamorous San-ai building - a perfect architectural match.

Koban Ginza 4-chome, Tokyo
