Japan in the seventies (2) 70年代の日本

Second and final part of an educational film for American school children forty years ago. I get many comments on the bath scene. When I was in Japan in the late fifties Japanese used to wash themselves with soap outside a bathtub. The water in the tub was awefully hot. One had to sink in it very slowly. The whole family used to relax one after another in that same tub! I took once such a bath in a small village and the whole population ran out to see me taking such a bath out in a shed with open door ! A viewer adds:
3:26 View from Tokyo Tower. 7:57 to 8:23 This is probably the view from the observation restaurant in Tokyo Kotsu Kaikan. 7:57 Yurakucho Denki Building. 8:07 Shinkansen passes by Yurakucho Station and heads for Tokyo Station. 8:12 Nishi Ginza Junction. 9:07 to 9:14 It seems to have been taken at a high place near the Toshiba head office. 9:36 View from Akasaka to Aoyama. 9:42 Akasakamitsuke crossing. 9:51 Shiba Park Baseball Stadium and World Trade Center Building.
