In Japan everything tends to be cuter than anywhere else, even mail boxes.
Mail boxes here are typically red, but sometimes pink (for example, in Komagome), blue (Shinagawa), yellow (Ibusuki, Kagoshima) or brown (JR Tokyo station). Some postboxes are decorated with beautiful patterns, such as cherry blossoms or fans, or have add-ons (such as a cute panda).
I still have a long way to go, so I hope this photo story is just a start!

Such a fun article! I'm going to keep my eyes peeled more often to see if I can spot any cool mailboxes myself!

I saw this post box in Nara. The camel and deer symbolize the Silk Road which had its terminus in ancient Nara.

Olga, the post box inside Tokyo station itself is customized to look just like the station building. Check it out at the top of the stairs heading down to the Narita express trains, near the Marunouchi central exit. :)
