Re: current data concerning Fussa, Japan[edit]

I was stationed at Yokota Air Base in the mid 1950's. Fussa is not part of Tokyo. When I was there it was quite smallMain source of reveue was related to the Air Force people on the base. It was a very, very high security base. It cintained my squadron, 56TH Strategic Reconnaisaance, as well as the 98th Bomb Wing, and a squadron of F-86 fighters. There was an Army presence whose job it was to protect the base should there be an attack. Inasmuch as Fussa existed long before my arrival I do not understand how it can be said that it was founded in 1970.

Travel between Fussa and Tokyo was accomplished by taking the train from the Fussa Station, with a change of trains in Tachikawa. Fussa, if I recall, was some 30-35 miles northwest of Tokyo. We often had a superb view of Mt. Fuji.

When you left the main gate of Yokota you walked through rice paddies to get to town. At the end of the paddies was a shop that sold Noritake china. You then walked down a hill to a main street which was 100% bars, on both sides of the street. Wait...there was also a small reataurant. That street led, ultimately, to Fussa train station.

Fussa-shi, Tokyo-to, Japan, is now a part of Greater Tokyo. The area now know as Fussa was created in 1970 by amalgamating the towns of Fussa, Ushihama and part of Haijima (Citation needed here, I remember reading it, but need to document it.)Jhall01 09:18, 21 January 2007 (UTC)JHall01[reply]
