Nihonbashi Post Office

The entrance is very unique. Located close to Nomura Shouken building.

Excellent service by polite staff. It's the first post office established in the history of Japan, here in Tokyo Nihonbashi. Such a simple looking building with a history of glorious past. Truly a humble experience to be in it's vicinity. To contemplate that one of the most efficient postal services in the world was born in this place. Love the history 😍

Incredibly friendly staff. I don't speak a word Japanese and they put in a lot of efforts to help me out :)

The staff are more accustomed to the procedure, probably because of the large number of cases handled.
