📞 HAPPY EMERGENCY NUMBER DAY! (HYAKUTŌBAN NO H

📞 HAPPY EMERGENCY NUMBER DAY! (HYAKUTŌBAN NO HI) 📞 January 10th is Emergency Number Day in Japan! 🚨 Why? Because the date (1/10) sounds like 110, the emergency phone number to call the police in Japan. This unofficial holiday was created to raise awareness about this vital number and how to use it. 🚔✨ For tourists visiting Japan, here are some important tips about dialing 110: 🔹 When to call: Use 110 for emergencies that require immediate police assistance, such as reporting a crime or accident. 🔹 Language assistance: While Japanese is the primary language, many major police departments offer interpretation services, so don’t hesitate to call if you need help. 🔹 Stay calm: Clearly explain the situation, provide your location, and follow instructions. — Looking for more tips to navigate Japan like a pro?
