Have you ever been confused about how to open a dial-type mailbox in Japanese apartments?
If you prefer to read the article, here you go!
In many Japanese houses, you will often see dial-type mailboxes like this.
Since these are rarely seen in other countries, many foreigners might have experienced confusion and difficulty opening them.
Here’s how to open the particular mailbox with instructions written in Japanese as “右に２回「７」、左に１回「４」” which literally means “right 2 times ‘7’, left 1 time ‘4’.”
First, turn the dial to the right and set it to ‘7’, then turn it to the right to ‘7’ again.
Next, turn the dial to the left and set it to ‘4’, and the door will open.
