It is located in Mitaka-city Tokyo Japan.
Nearest railway station is KICHIJOJI(JR line).

How to get this is....

To Find the "Kotori-no-Mori(Mori) Letter-box"
Come to "Kotori-no-Mori" area from KICHIJOJI-station which is part of "Inogashira-Park". You can get to Inogashira-Park about 5 minites from KICHIJOJI station, the "Kotori-no-Mori" is south-west of the park. You need 15 minutes from the station to get to the area.
