A KOBAN is a small neighborhood police station found throughout Japan. There are over 6000 of these KOBAN in Japan, so they are everywhere. KOBAN is often called police box in English. Though originally they were a box in which a police officer stood guard they are now more like small police stations. They come in all shapes and sizes and are an interesting feature of Japanese society.

I use this channel for explaining Japan's police boxes to my Russian friend.
It's easy to understand what a KOBAN is, so thank you.
I thought there are a KOBAN in other countries too. I am Japanese, when we have something problem we go there for asking their helps such as asking direction, looking for what I have lost etc…
Are these KOBANs manned 24 hours 7 days a week or are they more like police community outreach outposts that only operate during the business day? In Canada and the US and I suspect Japan as well, police have a city central headquarters, district precincts and community outreach outposts. A city like Vancouver or Toronto only gets one HQ but can easily have 10 or more district precincts. As for community stations, they are a really mixed bag to non existent one year to a couple dozen in hot spots in some other years.
As expected for a peaceful country. Japan is Amazing
It's got it's own issue, but I love this country. Been here half my life.
In India, we have police outposts called "Chowkis", which are smaller and have fewer police personnel, and a "chowki" is often affiliated to a bigger police station.
