Shinjuku Koban (Police Box) 四谷警察署 追分交番

Organizing my computer I found this shot of a koban 交番 (police box) in Shinjuku, from November, 2014:

This is “Yotsuya Police Station Oiwake police box” 四谷警察署 追分交番, in Shinjuku-sanchome, located directly in front of a Louis Vuitton store (map):

Here is a view from the top of Takashimaya Department Store; in the foreground is Forever 21, which is just one block from the koban.
