Are phone booths still a thing in Japan? It's been years since I've seen an operational phone booth here in Europe.

I guess it depends where you call.

I still have a 20+ years old phone card for these that's not empty yet. (Used it maybe ~15x in that time frame.) Last time I used it was 2025 - from Tokyo to Yokohama. Might have been 10¥/min? I don't remember exactly.
