We can often see fire control equipments in Tokyo because Tokyo is a city where a lot of wooden houses are built densely. There are quite a few fire stations and we can often see fire engines running. This is a sign of fire cistern which helps the fire fighting. When I was a child, there are a lot of pool or water tank here and there, but as you know, the lands are so precious in Tokyo that we cannot waste them as a pool. So, most of the pools and tanks were burried under ground and this sign indicates where they are.
