Located in Otsuchi Town, Iwate Prefecture – which was affected by the Great Earthquake – this is the name of a phone booth.
Located at a high elevation and commanding a view of the coastline, this telephone is not connected.
It’s furnished with a notebook on which is written, “One can speak from the heart on the wind telephone,” and in which visitors write down their feelings.
