Kyoto Emergency Phone Numbers

XX - XXX - XXXX
Area code Exchange No. Subscriber's No.

When making a local call, simply dial the exchange number and subscriber's number.
When making a long distance call to a number outside your area code, be sure to dial the area code first.
Charges for all direct-dial calls in Japan are based on the distance and the time over which the call is made.

All phone numbers are for calling within Japan. To call from outside Japan, dial Japan's country code (81), then the local area code without dialing the first zero. For example, to call or fax (03) 3280-0033 (Tokyo), dial 81-3-3280-0033. In Directory ZONE, the phone number's local area code is indicated in parentheses. It need not be dialed if you are in that area. For example, if you are within the 23 wards of Tokyo, you need not dial the 03. Also, toll-free numbers (usually starts with 0120) work only within Japan. Note that most people in Japan cannot speak English, so be prepared to communicate in Japanese.
