Simple post office - Kan'iyubinkyoku

Japanese: 簡易郵便局 - かんいゆうびんきょく
Simple post office - Kan'iyubinkyoku

Postal offices are established under the Law Concerning the Entrustment of Postal Counter Operations (Law No. 213 of 1949), in which Japan Post Co., Ltd. entrusts postal counter operations to local governments, agricultural and fishery organizations, and consumer cooperatives, and the contractors undertake the operations. They are also called simplified post offices. In order to popularize postal counter facilities, they have been established since July 15, 1949 (Showa 24) under the Simple Post Office Law (the former name of the Law Concerning the Entrustment of Postal Counter Operations). In June 1970, the scope of contractors was expanded to individuals who met certain requirements, which led to further popularization. Initially, the contractor was the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, but this changed with the reorganization of the central government ministries and agencies in January 2001 and the reorganization into a public corporation in April 2003, and since October 2007, they have been subcontracted by Japan Post Co., Ltd., which was in turn entrusted with postal counter operations by Japan Post Service Co., Ltd., which was established following the privatization of the postal service. In addition, it is distinguished from general post offices based on the Japan Post Office Co., Ltd. Act (Act No. 100 of 2005).

Japanese:

郵便窓口業務の委託等に関する法律(昭和24年法律213号)によって設置されるもので、郵便局株式会社が郵便窓口業務を地方公共団体や農漁業、消費生活協同組合に委託し、受託者が請け負う形態で運営される。簡易局ともいう。郵政の窓口機関を普及させるため、1949年(昭和24)7月15日以降、簡易郵便局法(「郵便窓口業務の委託等に関する法律」の旧称)に基づき設置されるようになった。1970年6月からは、受託者の範囲を、一定の要件を備えた個人にまで拡大したため、いっそう普及した。当初、委託元は郵政省であったが、2001年(平成13)1月の中央省庁再編や、2003年4月の公社化などで変更され、2007年10月以降は郵政民営化に伴い設立された郵便事業株式会社から郵便窓口業務を委託された郵便局株式会社からの再委託となっている。なお、郵便局株式会社法(平成17年法律第100号)に基づく一般の郵便局とは区別される。
