In 1961 (Showa 36), based on the telephone subscription area of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, a national dial instant automation number division and the corresponding area code were established. With the exception of the Ogasawara Islands in Tokyo, which was automated using geostationary satellites in June 1983, telephone automation was completed in March 1979. Stamps are issued to commemorate it, and "dial and push buttons" are designed.
