I believe Kita-Senju in Adachi-ku is considered close to ghetto, it's the cheapest property on the Japanese version of Monopoly.

Can't imagine "ghetto" in Japan yet though. Even the most pachinko overrun places don't aren't exactly ghetto yet for me.

I just never paid much attention to them. Patrick, you’re right I think they are more common than I thought. I just never paid much attention to them.

However I've seen such free trading bookcases at some stations (including the one near my home) and also at large post offices. I’ve never seen a bookcase in the shape of a train, cool!
