I’m not sure that stopping at a subway station counts as having seen the Ginza!! ;-)<br /><br />K. Martinez, wow, your dad lived in Tokyo, very cool. My dad supposedly turned down a chance for our family to be stationed in Japan because he thought it would be too hard on us. I can’t help wondering how different my life might be if we had gone!<br /><br />Steve DeGaetano, everything you need to know about life can be found in M*A*S*H!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-16511521980650078952017-06-10T15:47:53.705-07:002017-06-10T15:47:53.705-07:00Unfortunately, my only knowledge of the Ginza come...Unfortunately, my only knowledge of the Ginza comes from the TV show "M*A*S*H." =(Steve DeGaetanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04947550539650692495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-62512527673586631522017-06-10T04:15:55.600-07:002017-06-10T04:15:55.600-07:00My father lived in Tokyo for a while during the 19...My father lived in Tokyo for a while during the 1950's and he loved the country and people of Japan. In fact, I think he wanted to become a permanent resident of Tokyo. This was shortly after the Korean War in which my father served in. Both Tokyo and Japan is a place I always wanted to see, but didn't. Thanks for sharing these pics, Major . K.

I guess I have focused more on other areas of the city....especially the Tokyo Disney parks. I spy a couple electric railway cars in the middle of that first pic (and of course, in the last two pics also).TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-39583368589909285452017-06-10T00:23:59.494-07:002017-06-10T00:23:59.494-07:00Major-
