Evidence to support your appeal:

(A)
Photo Cover of Wayspot (A):

According to this street view in 2015, this device is located next to the Y25 and Y27 exits of the underground street.

Attached below is a photo I took in December 2024. Although it is a bit blurry, it can be compared to confirm that the device has disappeared.


Make a comparison:

In the upper right corner of the Wayspot cover photo, we can see the “*7-Y27, Y15 exit direction sign”

Then, referring to this street view, we can see that it should be “Y17-Y27, Y15 exit”, and this device has been removed, and is only a temporary display.

Note: This is an underground street next to the train station, where Japanese-style events are often held. There are Japanese-style decorations such as lanterns, torii gates, shrines, etc., which are all temporary objects for about 3 to 15 days. For reference: 「絆~關於我以及我的夥伴們」 第十四回台北地下街夏日浴衣祭 和好朋友們共度的快樂時光, this is the Japanese-style festival held last year.

Based on the coordinates of this Wayspot, we can compare the street view and surrounding buildings:

Then, I attach the photos I took here in December 2024. Although the buildings on the left and right are partially covered, it can still be identified as the same location. It can also be determined that temporary objects used for activities and exhibitions are often placed here.

This Wayspot appeared about 10 years ago. However, no matter the street view within 300 meters, no matter whether it is 2024, 2022, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016 or any other year, this telephone booth cannot be found (according to the picture, it should be as tall as a person and should not be so difficult to find)

In addition, I changed to searching by image search and found that this is a mass-produced handicraft that can be bought on Taobao, Amazon, and Shopee

Therefore, it is reasonable to infer that it is a temporary/mass-produced commercial product, rather than a unique Wayspot.

Thanks for the appeal, @EONloveu. After reviewing the additional evidence provided, we’ve decided to retire the Wayspots in question.
