A telephone booth in Otsuka-cho, Iwate Prefecture, Japan suddenly became popular. Its popularity is not because it is used as a place to take pictures but its function to call the dead. Although the creepy telephone booths on the hill are visited by people from various regions every day.

There were around 10,000 people coming there to use the old school telephone booth. The person who built the telephone booth himself was a man named Sasaki. This telephone booth is called wind telephone because this telephone line can only send its voice through the wind. This telephone booth provides a black swivel telephone in the pavilion, which modern people have forgotten.

Sasaki built the telephone booth in 2010 when he lost his cousin. He built the telephone booth to calm his pain over the departure of his cousin.

Initially, the voting booth was only used by Sasaki. However, since the massive earthquake in Japan on March 11, 2011, he opened the telephone booth to the public. He hopes, at least those who feel hurt can calm themselves through the telephone booth.

Until now these telephone booths are still widely used by people to chat with people who have died. For example, a grandchild who is conversing with his grandfather, etc. "No matter how bad the reality is, hope is the meaning of life, they will always be there," Sasaki said.
