About this episode
Whether you're living or traveling in Japan, knowing how to reach the police in the case of an emergency is always important. In this episode, Chie and Ty talk about 交番, kouban, or police boxes, which are smaller police hubs that make it easy for you to find or reach the police if you need them.
NativShark also has a lesson on asking people to call the police or an ambulance: https://www.nativshark.com/lbjp
