If you visit the Skytree in Tokyo, there is a postal museum at the foot of the tower where visitors can see relics of Japanese postal services including uniforms from different periods, mailboxes and stamps.

Also, they have a mailbox shaped like the Skytree (you'll have to go to the article to see it).

The Yomiuri Shimbun's The Japan News posted:

The Postal Museum Japan has opened on the ninth floor of the Tokyo Solamachi commercial complex at the foot of Tokyo Skytree in Sumida Ward, Tokyo, exhibiting items from Chiyoda Ward’s Communications Museum, which closed last August. 

On display at the entrance is Solamachi’s first mailbox, shaped like Skytree, into which visitors can drop letters and postcards to commemorate their visits. 

The 920-square-meter museum has about 400 articles on display, including mailboxes and postmen’s uniforms from various periods as well as about 330,000 stamps from 191 countries. Visitors can see an embossing Morse telegraph, designated by the central government as an important cultural treasure. The device was presented to the Tokugawa shogunate by U.S. Navy Commodore Matthew Perry in 1854.
