JA2340 16 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 At Akakura late last month, I noticed a phone box which might give people an idea about the snow conditions thereabouts. It is located at 36deg 53min 10.87sec North, 138deg 12min 20.01sec East. I tried to locate it on Google Earth, but cannot read the name of the intersection. Anyone know what the roads there are? It's not far from the Joshin-etsu Expressway. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I see you posted this JA with phone box as the caption Is there a phone box in there? Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Yep, there really is! but If I find the other pic, from just around the corner, you'll see where it is. This one taken a few days later than the other one. As I said, this one was taken through a bus window - trouble is the rest of the passengers INSISTED on continuing to breathe, made the windows sorta foggy! Link to post Share on other sites
