I lived in Tokyo in Datemachi in the house of a Japanese diplomat staying abroad, a street I cannot find anymore. When I worked in our Kobe office I stayed in James estate Shioya. Sorry I forgot whether I saw that Okuna Building or Ginza Apartments. It is more than half a century ago!
When I look at Tokyo, and its vastness, I often think about how the whole metropolis was flattened in WW2. It's sad in a way because there aren't many old buildings in Tokyo, but it's also amazing that so much has been built since that time. Countless buildings covering every bit of land.
For those English speakers curious what this says and why it has 64 upvotes at this very moment. This is what it says. "When viewed over the 18-year period from 2001 to 2019, one can grasp how short 18 years is, intuitively. It is remarkable how this place has recovered so much from a scorched and desolate wasteland in just 18 years. We should not only offer gratitude once again to the two million plus souls, both military and civilian, who perished in the war but also to all those who endured the war and contributed to the post-war reconstruction."

Looks like my walk through Tokyo's suburbs yesterday. Same school uniforms, same business, same stations, same food. Still see families in tatami rooms, but there are western style homes too. Most people in suits, but some traditional or casual - same as now. Same insane work ethic. Still super orderly, quiet and clean. Love Japan!
Translation for English speakers. "It's surprising to see this appearance, just 18 years after the end of the war. Again, it's deeply moving to think about how rapid the reconstruction took place. The other day, while I was on the Toden Arakawa Line heading towards Minowa Bridge, I overheard two elderly ladies reminiscing about the area around Mukouhara. One of them said, "Come to think of it, this area was also partly burned during that air raid, wasn't it?" It seemed like they were sharing their memories. I imagine that for those elderly ladies and many others, Tokyo's appearance has left vivid memories from the day it was completely destroyed by the bombing until today, with various changes in the cityscape over time."
Precious, amazing records of 1963 Tokyo, family scene!! So moving to me personally, for I, born in Tokyo and raised there, left for USA, with one suitcase and one way ticket to Chicago, (but not definite idea how to live) in end of March, 1963!!!! My home is USA now. That year was very significant time of my life. The every scene makes my heart treble. Am grateful you showed this video. Lucky I found it.
I spent the summer of 1970 in Yokohama, when my mother took me there to visit her family, which included my grandmother, uncle, aunt, and cousins. She hadn't been back since 1963; the time previous to that was 1961, and again before that was 1959, when she had left Japan permanently for New York City. She was born, in 1932, and raised in Yokohama Chinatown, and she is 87 today. We were also in Yokohama in part to travel to Osaka for Expo '70. Aside from a few things that would have changed between 1963 and 1970, this film is very much like I remember of my summer in Yokohama. :-)

Alex The entire WAS bombed. For all the videos that talk about Japan hardly having any space to develop (aka cramped, can’t grow food, dependent on natural resources from elsewhere) is direct evidence of why bombing Japan in its totality was easy, as its urban are are all concentrated in specific areas, and much of it on the Pacific coast. Tokyo itself was fire bombed, as with many other cities. Fire bombing was known to be far more effective than the nuclear bombs, so the fact that you even mention them as examples of catastrophic damage is ridiculous (they’re incredibly powerful for being one bomb, but still caused less damage than fire bombs and other bombs on each city in total) For example Hamamatsu is the number one city to be bombed by air and coastal guns over 90%. There’s an entire graph of the entire percentage of cities destroyed and all major cities, ESPECIALLY TOKYO, was seriously affected, and hundreds of thousands of people died
@@cassanderrr You sound like you are saying that other countries would have achieved what Japan has achieved if they are not invaded, but is that really the truth?

Shashank Sharma Yea ...Our family’s trusty Japanese car was like an extended family member ....Datsun , Nissan , Toyota and Infinity as well as others...the occasional American brands and even VW didn’t seem to cut it. Japanese quality and economy was what we depended on for our mobility. I still miss my Tacoma...perfect little truck.
Do you know that japan can grow fast after WW2 because of Korean war? Japan made a lot of weapons and sell to Korea. So they can get so many money in 60s.
@@kidjinwoong well that could be a factor, it's most definitely not the sole reason, a massive export economy with relatively cheap labor tied to the US economy, which was yes the main superpower after ww2 when everyone else was hurting
1963 My goodness. I was a student at the university and lived at the area where film has been shot. So many of the shots are the same as I can recall and gives me nostalgia. This was a year before the previous Olympics of 64, and everything was confusing. Taxis were running as Kamikaze everywhere. We were more aggressive I recall. The film has been taken by professionals as the lighting says, but may be by Japanese because the lighting skill was not good enough even though at that time. The music tells as it was selected by non Japanese but well done. But, totally, this is a precious record of this time, for everything has been changed so much now. I appreciate the work.
Man, the music... I'm gonna cry. How is it possible to so much miss places and times you have never witnessed? People rarey get this, byt everyday life and simple things in it are SACRED.

I was there in 1963, on a honeymoon around the world trip for 90 days. I came back from Kyoto in a sleeping train looking out the window at the sardine-packed commuter trains on the other tracks. George Wu, ARCHITECT, A.I.A., NCARB 2018-11-3
How thoughtful of you Mr. Rogge to upload this footage to RUclips. 1963 was the year of my second trip to Japan, when I was accepted into Kyoto University grad school. What a disaster that was: they were simply not ready to handle foreign students. You could still see crippled war veterans in their white outfits begging in the trains; I also spotted an inuguruma - dog-drawn cart - in Otaru, when our ship stopped in Hokkaido. This was the end of an era - before the Japanese became alienated, cut off from their roots and ruthlessly aimed toward mindless material progress. My last long stay, in the 1980s, I found most of my friends were in their 70s and 80s - the kids seemed older and more out of touch.
My name here is just a play on Sakamoto Ryuichi (Sakamoto-kyoujyu to his friends). I've seen you speaking Japanese in your videos - do you keep up your study of the language? Not sure you would like Kyoto today - overrun by tourists.
What an incredible document! And only 18 years after WWII. Sadly, many, if not most, of these places are gone as well now (particularly the homes), lost to the constant renewal of Tokyo. Thanks so much for uploading!
Japan was already a very industrialized, wealthy country, this was easy for Japan to get used to. It was more harder for the Chinese, especially the Koreans who were the victims of colonization and bloody war.
Sure. In the civil war of China 1945-1949 that started after WW2 ended, at least 30 million Chinese civilians were massacred by both sides. Thereafter, the Communist Party executed millions of Chinese capitalists. In the Great Leap Forward 1958-1962, 30-55 million people starved to death, and at least 2.5 million people were beaten or tortured to death and 1 million to 3 million committed suicide. In total, 63.5 million to 90.5 million people fell victims in China between the end of WW2 and 1963. In the Cultural Great Revolution 1966-1976, the additional death toll was 20 million. In the Korea War, the number of South Koreans killed in the Korean War: 415,000, estimated number of Chinese and North Koreans killed in the Korean War: 1,500,000. In South Korea, the number of South Koreans killed by the government of South Korea in the Bodo League Massacre and other massacres from 1948 to 1980: 1.4 million. www.sciencespo.fr/mass-violence-war-massacre-resistance/en/document/chronology-mass-killings-during-chinese-cultural-revolution-1966-1976 www.shmoop.com/korean-war/statistics.html
@Omegador In what way was Korea "privileged" by Japan's rule? You do know the reason why Korea is partitioned even to this day is because after the Japanese handed the peninsula to the U.S. and the Soviets, Korea was too weak to have a say in the outcome of their country due to there being little to no politicians in Korea who had the influence + power to unite the country and keep it together. That is because the Japanese deliberately placed pro-Japanese or Japanese supremacists in authority over Korea so there was really no one that was able to stop the U.S. and the Soviet's from cutting the peninsula up. In addition, Japan forced millions of Koreans to work hard labor under extreme conditions in different parts of the empire. Many of them were never able to return home such as the Koreans in Sakhalin. Not just laborers but we were suppressed from speaking our language and preserving our culture. The Japanese tried to assimilate us as Japanese so a lot of our culture died during the 35 year occupation. And by the way, what about the countless thousands of Korean comfort women who were coerced into sexual slavery? Do you really think Korea was "privileged"? Don't be absurd. Japan may had established the foundation of industrialization in Korea but that primarily only benefited the Japanese. The peaceful farmers in Korea were forced to give up their lands to the Japanese as they were ambitious in exploiting Korea's resources. The farmers were left to starve and beg on the streets. Our history is tragic and certainly far from being considered "privileged." Don't ever make absurd claims that have no basis. It's insulting to not just me but to the Koreans who suffered under Japanese rule.

When your 2019 city looks way worse than 1963 Tokyo, nice
Actually Tokyo has always been a highly developed city. In the 70s and 80s , no one could even compete with Tokyo's infrastructure.. now many cities in Asia like Seoul , Hong Kong , Singapore , Kuala Lumpur ( Somewhat ) and Shenzhen have comparable infrastructure to Tokyo. If you see Tokyo in 2019 , you can still observe many similarities.

One must admire the Japanese for their hardworking, enterprising spirit!
It's amazing what one can do with determination
Shashank Sharma Yea ...Our family’s trusty Japanese car was like an extended family member ....Datsun , Nissan , Toyota and Infinity as well as others...the occasional American brands and even VW didn’t seem to cut it. Japanese quality and economy was what we depended on for our mobility. I still miss my Tacoma...perfect little truck.

awesome, i have a lot of respect for japan, they are great people
Way better than the warlike North Koreans, i suppose.
we fought the wrong enemy , sir
@@luisreyes1963 or the pathetic Southern Koreans
Do you know that japan can grow fast after WW2 because of Korean war? Japan made a lot of weapons and sell to Korea. So they can get so many money in 60s.
@@kidjinwoong well that could be a factor, it's most definitely not the sole reason, a massive export economy with relatively cheap labor tied to the US economy, which was yes the main superpower after ww2 when everyone else was hurting

1963 My goodness. I was a student at the university and lived at the area where film has been shot.
So many of the shots are the same as I can recall and gives me nostalgia.
This was a year before the previous Olympics of 64, and everything was confusing.
Taxis were running as Kamikaze everywhere. We were more aggressive I recall.
The film has been taken by professionals as the lighting says, but may be by Japanese
because the lighting skill was not good enough even though at that time.
The music tells as it was selected by non Japanese but well done.
But, totally, this is a precious record of this time, for everything has been changed so much now.
I appreciate the work.
Dear Mr. Rogge, Thank you for sharing precious historical collection of the films.
Very attractive city. Seriously with happily life. Respect Nippon.
Raised from ashes in a very short time. I admire you, Japanese people!

The city was nothing different to Bangkok in the 90s.

@@DonkeykongSw2 The biggest difference is transportation. Were there enough railways and subway in Bangkok? Japan started the bullet train in 1964.

I was there in 1963, on a honeymoon around the world trip for 90 days. I came back from Kyoto in a sleeping train looking out the window at the sardine-packed commuter trains on the other tracks. George Wu, ARCHITECT, A.I.A., NCARB 2018-11-3

How thoughtful of you Mr. Rogge to upload this footage to RUclips. 1963 was the year of my second trip to Japan, when I was accepted into Kyoto University grad school. What a disaster that was: they were simply not ready to handle foreign students. You could still see crippled war veterans in their white outfits begging in the trains; I also spotted an inuguruma - dog-drawn cart - in Otaru, when our ship stopped in Hokkaido.
This was the end of an era - before the Japanese became alienated, cut off from their roots and ruthlessly aimed toward mindless material progress. My last long stay, in the 1980s, I found most of my friends were in their 70s and 80s - the kids seemed older and more out of touch.
Thanks for your reminiscenses. I found that almost all people I knew had fallen away and so were many of the streets/buildings.
That is so amazing! I would love to hear more stories of your experience, thanks for sharing!
Byron Black what did you study, sir? I am very interested in speaking with you.
My name here is just a play on Sakamoto Ryuichi (Sakamoto-kyoujyu to his friends). I've seen you speaking Japanese in your videos - do you keep up your study of the language? Not sure you would like Kyoto today - overrun by tourists.
I sometimes remember Sakamoto Kyu, who died in that horrible crash of JAL 123.
What an incredible document! And only 18 years after WWII. Sadly, many, if not most, of these places are gone as well now (particularly the homes), lost to the constant renewal of Tokyo. Thanks so much for uploading!
+Jolar70; I know right! Japan sure recovered fast! :D
Japan was already a very industrialized, wealthy country, this was easy for Japan to get used to. It was more harder for the Chinese, especially the Koreans who were the victims of colonization and bloody war.
Sure. In the civil war of China 1945-1949 that started after WW2 ended, at least 30 million Chinese civilians were massacred by both sides. Thereafter, the Communist Party executed millions of Chinese capitalists. In the Great Leap Forward 1958-1962, 30-55 million people starved to death, and at least 2.5 million people were beaten or tortured to death and 1 million to 3 million committed suicide. In total, 63.5 million to 90.5 million people fell victims in China between the end of WW2 and 1963. In the Cultural Great Revolution 1966-1976, the additional death toll was 20 million.
In the Korea War, the number of South Koreans killed in the Korean War: 415,000, estimated number of Chinese and North Koreans killed in the Korean War: 1,500,000. In South Korea, the number of South Koreans killed by the government of South Korea in the Bodo League Massacre and other massacres from 1948 to 1980: 1.4 million.

@Omegador In what way was Korea "privileged" by Japan's rule? You do know the reason why Korea is partitioned even to this day is because after the Japanese handed the peninsula to the U.S. and the Soviets, Korea was too weak to have a say in the outcome of their country due to there being little to no politicians in Korea who had the influence + power to unite the country and keep it together. That is because the Japanese deliberately placed pro-Japanese or Japanese supremacists in authority over Korea so there was really no one that was able to stop the U.S. and the Soviet's from cutting the peninsula up. In addition, Japan forced millions of Koreans to work hard labor under extreme conditions in different parts of the empire. Many of them were never able to return home such as the Koreans in Sakhalin. Not just laborers but we were suppressed from speaking our language and preserving our culture. The Japanese tried to assimilate us as Japanese so a lot of our culture died during the 35 year occupation. And by the way, what about the countless thousands of Korean comfort women who were coerced into sexual slavery? Do you really think Korea was "privileged"? Don't be absurd. Japan may had established the foundation of industrialization in Korea but that primarily only benefited the Japanese. The peaceful farmers in Korea were forced to give up their lands to the Japanese as they were ambitious in exploiting Korea's resources. The farmers were left to starve and beg on the streets. Our history is tragic and certainly far from being considered "privileged." Don't ever make absurd claims that have no basis. It's insulting to not just me but to the Koreans who suffered under Japanese rule.
