Beginning in 2021, Japan Post started replacing some of the normal red mailboxes with gold colored ones to honor local athletes who have taken gold medals at the Olympic or Paralympic games.
The mailbox above, near JR Gotanda Station in Tokyo, recognizes Naohisa Makato, winner of the gold medal in the men’s 60 kilogram judo event in 2021.
The mailbox below, at Shimizu Station in Shizuoka, honors gold medalist Suguru Iwazaki, 2020 baseball team member.
