VIDEO: Speakin' Japanese: I will make a phone call!
Otaki in Chiba Prefecture is a beautiful castle town only a two-hour drive from most of military bases in the Kanto Plain. Travel back into the Edo Era with traditional wood buildings and old timey scenery. While enjoying a town walk, I found a unique public phone housed in a traditional wooden booth that invited me to make a phone call to thank one of my friends.
Today's Japanese phrase:
“Denwa wo kakemasu!” 電話をかけます= I will make it phone call!
("denwa " 電話 = telephone, "..wo kakemasu"..をかけます = will make/take..)
The cute telephone booth was a great way to catch up with my friends.
Stay safe and please keep in touch!
