That is a public phone. Pink public phones were often placed inside restaurants, but in the 1980s they changed from rotary dial to push button, so I think that phone is from the 1970s or earlier.
Thank you so much! So interesting that in celebrating Christmas, many people in the West hang wreaths on their front doors. There's similarities! Thank you again!
I’m curious—what’s the pink telephone for?

The vine may need some help to make the call.
I'm also worried about whether they have a 10 yen coin.
Can you explain the third one?
I think the thin iron stakes are covered with empty cans because they are dangerous.
Thanks. But sorry, I meant the wreath-type thing hanging on the door... I must have mis-counted...
Ah, I see. That is a shimenawa (sacred rope) to celebrate the New Year. In Japan, it is a custom to hang it on the front door.

That phone is excellent 😊
It's rare to see pink public phones these days, so it makes me happy when I find one.
