Japan 1948 1950

- My Dad was an Army officer who was transferred to Tokyo in early 1947. After a short time the rest of the family followed- My Mother, Martha, my Grandmother, Beatrice, and my sister, Kathy. We traveled by ship from New York, through the Panama Canal, to Hawaii and on to Yokohama- a 30 day trip. The "Alexander" was an old, slow ex-German Hamburg-Amerika liner. We enjoyed living in Japan during the Occupation years.
These pictures were scanned from 35mm color slides that were taken by my parents using Kodak Kodachrome film- a fine-grain, color-stable film but it had a very slow ASA rating of only 10. The main camera was a Cannon IIB with a 50mm f 1.9 lens. Bear in mind that this film is almost 75 years old!
I apologize if I have misspelled any names or misidentified any places.

祖父が当時グラントハイツで働いていてお爺ちゃんはマッカーサーの椅子を運んだんだよと母からよく聞かされていました。
多分永年勤続賞みたいなものだと思いますが家には英語で書かれた賞状が誇らしげに飾られていましたね。
1965年生まれの私にとってのグラントハイツは日本に返還された後、光が丘公園が造成される前の広大な空き地で
子供の頃にはよくトンボやカマキリを捕まえに行った友達との格好の遊び場でした。
この時代の日本の鮮明なカラー画像はなかなか目にすることがないので貴重な画像を拝見できてよかったです。
ありがとうございます。
練馬区に住んでいました、米軍が去った後のグラント・ハイツ（現、光が丘団地）は広大な広場で、休日には人でにぎわっていました。子供だった私は何度か金網を超えてアメリカの廃屋を探検しました。歴史的には陸軍成増飛行場跡ですね。
ぼくのニガ💪🏿
戦後日本に家族で駐留されていた方のフォトですかね。
当時の日本にはなかったカラーなのでよりリアルで貴重です。
今ほど高層ビルが立ち込めていなくて電光看板も無く、人で溢れかえり鬱蒼としてる様子も無く、日本の伝統的な美を感じられる貴重な時代の写真。
母の幼少期はこんな感じだったのだと、少しでも雰囲気を掴めた気がした。
人が人らしく自然と共に暮らしているという雰囲気を感じる。
この時代を経験してるからこそ、この世代の人達はテクノロジーに対して色々と意見してきたのだろうな。
東京は今より建物がずっと低くて、空が広くていいなぁ。
明治神宮でお茶会はとっても風柳で私もやってみたいです。 人も今より少なそうだ。
My grandfather and my father visited Japan a lot in the 50s, 60s, and 1970s. I grew up listening to my dad talk about what a fascinating place Japan was. I've been able to visit there many times over the last 20 years--its one of the great civilizations of the world and I think everyone should visit at least once. These photos were amazing, especially Shibuya, simply because of the contrast with how they look today. Thank you for sharing.
You are welcome, Steven.
東京は都会なので疲れます 正直嫌いです 故郷の長野の方が好きです

The quality of pics is super high! Thanks to the clear pics, people and the city seem much more familiar and I can feel that they really lived that time as my grandparents did.
Thank you for sharing your precious memories.
You are welcome. I am glad that you enjoyed these photos. My family enjoyed living in Japan and getting to know Japanese people. We developed many close friends there.
Please work on good and clean oil and gas explorations and extractions, good and clean coal minings, minerals minings, silica sand minings. Electricity and energy prices will increase a lot again.
Gods (Aliens who created and manage this Universe and Earth) will remove all remaining nuclear fuels from Earth, so all nuclear power plants and nuclear medical devices will stop working very soon.
There will be power outages worldwide.
Aliens (Gods who created and manage this Universe and Earth) bless, to clean up the bad people.
Aliens removed nuclear materials, caused the failure of 24 satellites of the European Union Galileo satellite navigation system on July 11th, 2019, power outages in New York Manhattan on July 13th, 2019, power outages in most of the UK on August 9th, 2019, and power outages in Japan on March 16th, 2022.
In August 1945, the United States detonated two nuclear explosions in Japan. On August 17th, 1945, the wind blew the nuclear fallout across the ocean to China. Chinese men worked in the fields, topless and exposed to the nuclear dust. More Chinese died as a result of the two nuclear bombs than the Japanese. Chinese women hid in their homes and wore clothes. Chinese widows were everywhere. The population of China was only 400 million. There was a misconception that it was a plague, the flu, and other diseases. The nuclear fallout spread to Spain and Britain. King George VI of the United Kingdom was also attached by nuclear dust under his lower right rib and died soon after.
Most obesities in the USA are because people have forgotten the victims of nuclear war. Need to apologize and use thoughts to retrieve the nuclear bombs. The Manhattan Project produced two different types of atomic bombs, code-named Fat Man and Little Boy.
Nuclear material causes aging, cancer, bad teeth, death, reincarnation, and gravity.
Nuclear is used by the devils.
This is a real devil possessing.
Please no nuclear. Global warming is because human-made nuclear explosions have resonated and destroyed the Sun since 1945.
Gods (aliens who created and manage this Universe) have been repairing the Sun since July 13th, 2002. Gods have been pulling Earth away from the Sun since June 3rd, 2017. Since March 23rd, 2019, Gods have been taking nuclear particles away from Earth to stop nuclear wipeouts and nuclear disasters.
Earth will be cooler to the 1973 level.
Gravity is caused by nuclear materials. If Earth has no nuclear materials, Earth will have nearly no gravity.
Greenhouse gas will flow further away from the Earth’s surface. Earth will be cooler and more comfortable to live in.
Global oil and gas prices and electricity prices jack up because nuclear power plants worldwide are nearly all broken and unable to generate electricity.
The Gods who created and manage this Universe (aliens) made oil, gas, coal, and minerals.
Please use these energies. Gods recycle the landfills, trash, plastics, waste, sewage, and the dead body of water creatures under the crust to make oil, gas, and minerals.
Gods use flying saucers to compress dead trees and plants under the soil to make coals. So Gods can bring better asteroid soil and better seeds to Earth to upgrade Earth. Most asteroids are worth hundreds of millions or billions or trillions.
God bless, I do oil, gas, coal, and Solar resonators.
Please do not use hydropower dams. They caused environmental damages and fishes extinct; also increased parasites, more angry cows, animals and humans, and more diseases; also increased landslides, risk of dam collapse and other disasters. Gods are removing the dams.
Gods have arrived. Lots of aliens from other Planets and other Universes have arrived and landed on Earth. They are judging and taking away bad people for reeducation.
If you want to talk to God and ask God to help, you must be vegan. Killing and eating meat, egg, and honey and using animal and insect products is very bad. It is disrespectful of life. It is the worst karma in the Universe. Gods do not like it.
You ask God to read Akashic records to solve your problems and your ancestors’ problems one by one.
Pyramids are good. Detoxification. In my dream, my whole family pooped and pooped a lot.
You can print out the pyramid photos. Think about it. Put the photos in the bedroom, toilet, kitchen, and workplace.
With clean pyramid photos, you can see better too.
If you genuinely want to do good for humanity and Earth, stop nuclear. Whoever wants to use nuclear power or nuclear material is possessed by real devils. The real devil looks like a combination of a pig, seal, and chimpanzee. Aliens kill the devils. Their dead bodies stink. That is why the ocean is stinky. North Pole arctic water is freshwater because aliens purify them. Niagara Falls near the USA and Canada, and Lake Tai in China are two connection points of the enormous water purification and filtration system.
You can go there to hear the sound of alien cargo. It sounds like train cargo.
Gods remove nuclear materials to avoid a nuclear wipeout. Otherwise, within about 200 years, people either use nuclear weapons to wipe self out again, or with pesticides, or gene editing.

こんな昔にしてはやたらいい画質 相当性能のいいカメラなんでしょう
It was a Japanese camera!
3:15 建築中の看板建築ですね。これは珍しい。
I’m an old fan of Japanese railways, and I love looking at pictures of old Japan.
Most of the documentary photographs from the Showa 20s (1945-) were black and white, and I had never seen color photographs like this video. 😊
Thank you for leaving such precious photos and publishing them as RUclips videos. 👍
At 9:28, the scene of the train overturn is filmed. There is a white band under the window of the passenger car, which seems to be a “train dedicated to occupation forces” that existed in occupied Japan at that time. ☝️
The derailed and overturned steam locomotive was filmed at 9:35, and when I searched the locomotive number “C61 17” on the railway fan site, the following article was found. I would like to transcribe the contents in order to convey the facts to later people.
Around 10:18 on August 21, 1949, when the “Occupation Forces Exclusive Train” from Ueno, Tokyo bound for Nikko approached Koganei Station on the Tohoku Main Line (between Oyama and Utsunomiya), safety checks were neglected. The truck entered the railroad crossing, collided with the train, dragged the truck about 80m, and the train derailed and overturned.
As for the damage, the locomotive and the 1st car derailed and overturned, the 3rd and 4th cars also derailed, and 2 people died and 9 people were injured. ☝️
Also, there is a caption of “Hiroshima” in the photos before and after the accident, but please understand that the photos were taken in a completely different direction and at a different time from the accident site. 😌
Finally, I thank you for taking me to the time before I was born. And once again, salute to you, your father and family, and all the people in the photo. Thank you very much. Arigatou-Gozaimasu.🙏😌🍀

私は、日本の鉄道オールドファンですが、昔の日本の写真を見るのが大好きです。
昭和20年代(1945〜)時代の記録写真は、モノクロ写真が多く、この動画のようなカラー写真は見た事がありませんでした。😊
このような貴重な写真を残し、更にRUclips動画として公開して頂いた事に感謝申し上げます。👍
9:28 に列車転覆の事故現場が撮影されています。客車の窓下に白い帯状の塗装がされていますが、これは当時、占領下の日本に存在した「占領軍専用列車」のようです。☝️
そして、9:35 脱線転覆した蒸気機関車が撮影されていますが、この機関車の番号「C61 17」を鉄道ファンサイトで検索すると、次の記事が発見されました。後の人達に事実を伝える為に、内容を転記させて頂きたいと思います。
昭和24年(1949)8月21日 10:18頃、東京の上野発日光行「占領軍専用列車」が、東北本線(小山〜宇都宮間)にある小金井駅に接近した際、安全確認を怠ったトラックが踏切内に侵入して列車と衝突し、トラックを約80m引きずって、列車は脱線転覆したとあります。
被害は、機関車と1両目が脱線転覆、3両目と4両目も脱線し、死者2名、負傷者9名と記録されています。☝️
あと、事故の前後の写真に「広島」のキャプションがありますが、事故現場とは全く別の方向、別の時に撮影された写真である事をご理解下さい。😌
最後に、私を生まれる前の時代に、連れて行って下さった事に感謝します。そして、もう一度、あなたとあなたのお父上とご家族に、そして、写真に写った全ての人達に、敬意を表させて頂きます。どうもありがとうございます。🙏😌🍀
Thank you for adding correct information and for your research on the railway. I was mistaken about the train wreck occurring on the trip to Hiroshima; that must have been another train. My Father did go to Hiroshima on a special train with a group of American officers and Japanese professors to study the effects of the bomb but it must have been on a different trip. Our family did ride a train to Nikko and Niiagata but there was no accident on that trip. I was 9 to 11 years old when we lived in Japan and it was a very enjoyable experience. The credit for these photos belongs to my Mother & Father. They used a Canon IIB 35mm camera that they bought in the Tokyo PX to take these pictures. Fortunately, they used Kodak Kodachrome color film which has very good color stability and fine grain. Regards, Neil
@@neilalbaugh4793 さん
Hi❣️ Mr.Neil. Thank you for your kind reply. ☺️
First, as you replied, the accident on the special train bound for Nikko may have happened only to your father.
And I will let you know some additional information that I learned from the photos.
9:42 A young man (with “Police” in the caption). The kimono he’s wearing is not a formal police officer, but an organization called the “vigilante group” that ordinary people in the area participate in in the event of a fire or some other incident. is. (The collar of his kimono says “Kokubunji Defense Corps 1st Branch”.)
Here, the place name “Kokubunji” appears, but it is not Kokubunji in Tokyo, but Koganei Station where the train accident occurred. It should be noted that it is a nearby place name. ☝️
He seems to have participated in the handling of the train wreck.
9:22 Special train Hiroshima locomotive crew and the steam locomotive in the picture, the person in front of the locomotive has part of the number and letters hidden, but when I checked on the railway fan site, It was confirmed that the locomotive was in charge of the train bound for Hiroshima.
(Information for railway fans, the number is “C62 18”, manufactured by Hitachi, belonging to the Shimonoseki locomotive depot)
9:52 The wreckage of the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall (later called the Atomic Bomb Dome) is shown, so the order of the photos is As a continuation of the 9:22 photo. ☝️
3:55 The entrance of the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo was dismantled and relocated to the museum “Meijimura” in Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture, where it still exists today. (Already announced in a separate comment.)
8:11 Scenery of Mikimoto Pearl Island in Toba City, Mie Prefecture, 8:48 Ama (female diver, profession that catches shellfish in the sea by free diving).
There are photos of Kyoto and Nara, the ancient capitals of Japan, so you may have come to the Kansai region. 😌
Finally, 22:46 Nara Todaiji Great Buddha Hall, 22:53 Todaiji Bell Tower, 23:00 Nara deer (Todaiji Temple precincts or Nara Park)!
This is the scenery of the town where I currently live! It’s still the same! However, the ground was paved from dirt to concrete... 😅
I feel like I’m a time traveler.
If possible, I would like to compare the shooting locations of all the photos with the current location in Google Earth.
Thank you Mr. Neil. 👍
Please stay healthy all the time.
So, goodbye. Sayounara.🤗
and Arigatou.🍀

やあ、ニールさん❣️ご丁寧なお返事を下さってありがとうございます。☺️
最初に、あなたがお返事下さったように、日光行、特別列車の事故は、お父上だけが遭遇されたのかも知れません。
そして、写真から分かった追加情報を、いくつかお知らせさせて頂きます。
9:42 若い男性(キャプションに「警察」とあります。)彼の着ている着物は、正式な警官ではなく、地域の一般人が火災や何かの事件時に参加する、「自警団」と呼ばれる組織です。(彼の着物の襟には、「国分寺警防団第一分団」とあります。)
ここで、「国分寺」と言う地名が登場しますが、東京都の国分寺では無く、列車事故の発生した小金井駅付近の地名であることに注意が必要です。☝️
彼は、列車事故の処理に参加したようです。
9:22 特別列車 広島機関車乗務員とある写真の蒸気機関車について、機関車手前の人で番号や文字の一部が隠されている部分もありますが、鉄道ファンサイトで調べた所、広島方面行きの列車を担当する機関車である事が確認されました。
(鉄道ファン向け情報、番号は「C62 18」号機、日立製、下関機関区所属)
9:52 広島県産業奨励館の残骸(後に、原爆ドームと呼ばれる)が写っているので、写真の順番としては、9:22の写真と続きになります。☝️
3:55 東京の帝国ホテル、この建物玄関部分は、解体後、愛知県犬山市の博物館「明治村」に移設、復元されて今も存在しています。(別コメントで、お知らせ済みです。)
8:11 三重県鳥羽市にある御木本真珠島の風景、8:48 海女さん(女性ダイバー、素潜りで海中の貝を獲る職業)です。
日本の古都である京都と奈良の写真もあるので、関西地方に来られたのかも知れません。😌
最後に、22:46 奈良東大寺大仏殿、22:53 東大寺鐘楼、23:00 奈良の鹿(東大寺境内か奈良公園)！
これは、現在、私が住んでいる町の風景です！今も変わっていません！ただし、地面は土からコンクリートに舗装されましたが…。😅
まるで、タイムトラベラーになった気分です。
可能ならば、Google Earthで、全ての写真の撮影地点を現在と比較したいですね。
Mr.ニールさん、ありがとうございます。👍
どうか、いつまでもお元気でお過ごし下さい。
では、さようなら。🤗🍀
@@Midori-Clover Your research is much appreciated. The information about the locomotive is very valuable- thank you. Regarding the young "rural policeman" I could not think of an appropriate title but perhaps a '
"civilian volunteer" would be a better description; he did help with the train wreck.
We traveled as much as we could in Japan. In some rural villages our car would be surrounded by curious people looking in the windows at us. They had never seen any white people before and no Americans so we were a curiosity to them. We took no offense as this was a time of learning about each other. As a boy, I was in a very small group of American school children who met Prince Akihito. No photos were taken, unfortunately.
@@neilalbaugh4793 さん
Hello. Mr.Neil.❣️Thank you for your reply. ☺️
That’s right. Many of the people in the picture had very little chance to see you Americans. Until the unfortunate war begins... .
But I think that it was precisely because we had a serious fight with each other that we were able to understand each other’s values and ways of thinking, both good and bad. 😌
Putting that topic aside, this is the first time it has become clear that you met Crown Prince Akihito when you were a child.
I think this is a very important testimony.
(I also saw him drive past only once in the past.)
In a book written by someone else about him, when he was a boy, a limited number of people of the same age he formed a small group with his children and studied together at school. After all, loneliness distorts personality.
Your invitation may have been part of the cross-cultural communication education. 🤔
So, I understood the background of the “white horse” and the splendid “bonsai” in the photo. Ordinary people cannot easily enter such places. ☝️
I imagine that when you were meeting with the Crown Prince, the emperor’s servants might have shown your father, who had extra time to accompany you, to the stables and places where there was a “bonsai”.
Finally, I love the people in this photo and the lost landscape. Sometimes tears come to my eyes. 😢💧
Because I strongly feel the times when food was scarce and many people were living within their abilities and working as hard as possible.
I was born ten years after this photo, but it seems like the original landscape.
And those old things have already become the realm of history.
I am very grateful to your father and Mr. Neil for their excellent work in inviting viewers to such a historical realm.
I hope you are doing well. 🙏
thank you very much. Arigatou gozaimasu.😌🍀

こんにちは。ニールさん❣️お返事ありがとうございます。☺️
そうです。写真に写った多くの人達は、あなた方アメリカ人を目にする機会が殆どありませんでした。あの、不幸な戦争が始まるまでは…。
でも、お互いに本気で喧嘩をしたからこそ、お互いの価値観や考え方が、良い点も悪い点も理解出来たのだと思っています。😌
その話題は横に置いて、子供時代のあなたが、当時の皇太子明仁殿下とお会いになっていた事も、今回初めて明らかになりました。
これは、大変貴重な証言だと考えます。
(私も過去に一度だけ、自動車で通り過ぎられるところをお見かけしました。)
彼の事を他の人が書いた書籍では、彼が少年時代に、同じ年齢の限られた子供達と少人数のグループを作り、学校で一緒に勉強をされていたとの事です。やはり、孤独は人格を歪めますからね。
あなたが招待されたのも、異文化コミュニケーション教育の一環だったかも知れません。🤔
それで、写真の中に「白馬」や、立派な「盆栽」が写っている背景が、理解出来ました。一般の人達は、そのような場所に気軽に入れないからです。☝️
想像を豊かにして考えると、あなたが皇太子にお会いしている時間、あなたに付き添って時間の余ったお父上に、天皇の侍従が、厩や、盆栽のある場所に案内したかも知れません。
最後に、私はこの写真に写った人々と、失われた風景が愛おしくてなりません。時々、涙が出ることがあります。😢💧
なぜなら、食糧の乏しい時代、多くの人達が自分の能力の範囲内で、精一杯懸命に生きていた時代を強く感じるからです。
私は、この写真の10数年後に生まれましたが、原風景のように思えます。
そして、それらの昔の事は、既に歴史の領域になりました。
そのような歴史の領域に、写真を見る人を誘う、あなたのお父上とニールさんの立派な仕事に、大変感謝致します。
どうか、お元気でお過ごし下さい。🙏
ありがとうございました。😌🍀
When I visited The Crown Prince I was not with my parents. A very few American grade school children were selected for the honor and I was one of them. As was the custom, I brought a small wrapped gift for the Crown Prince and it was received by one of his staff. a few days later I received that gift unopened together with a letter of thanks but explaining that it was not permitted for the Royal Family to receive gifts.
Since My Dad was on General MacArthur's staff, he was invited to many places that were not ordinarily permitted to others. We visited the Palace many times. It was a very special time in our lives and we remember Japan fondly.
18:20横浜にも、このような田舎の田園風景が・・・感慨深いな。
Great video! 意義深い画像ありがとう 楽しみました /// all my respect and best wishes!

You are welcome.
Thanks for sharing. Such great photographs of Japan and that era. I've lived in Tokyo the past 14 years and it's changed a lot. I always wonder what the neighborhoods that I visit looked like before all of the crazy building of the past 50-60 years.
Please work on good and clean oil and gas explorations and extractions, good and clean coal minings, minerals minings, silica sand minings. Electricity and energy prices will increase a lot again.
Gods (Aliens who created and manage this Universe and Earth) will remove all remaining nuclear fuels from Earth, so all nuclear power plants and nuclear medical devices will stop working very soon.
There will be power outages worldwide.
Aliens (Gods who created and manage this Universe and Earth) bless, to clean up the bad people.
Aliens removed nuclear materials, caused the failure of 24 satellites of the European Union Galileo satellite navigation system on July 11th, 2019, power outages in New York Manhattan on July 13th, 2019, power outages in most of the UK on August 9th, 2019, and power outages in Japan on March 16th, 2022.

Nuclear material causes aging, cancer, bad teeth, death, reincarnation, and gravity.

Earth will be cooler to the 1973 level.
Gravity is caused by nuclear materials. If Earth has no nuclear materials, Earth will have nearly no gravity.
Greenhouse gas will flow further away from the Earth’s surface. Earth will be cooler and more comfortable to live in.
Global oil and gas prices and electricity prices jack up because nuclear power plants worldwide are nearly all broken and unable to generate electricity.

Pyramids are good. Detoxification. In my dream, my whole family pooped and pooped a lot.
You can print out the pyramid photos. Think about it. Put the photos in the bedroom, toilet, kitchen, and workplace.
With clean pyramid photos, you can see better too.
If you genuinely want to do good for humanity and Earth, stop nuclear. Whoever wants to use nuclear power or nuclear material is possessed by real devils. The real devil looks like a combination of a pig, seal, and chimpanzee. Aliens kill the devils. Their dead bodies stink. That is why the ocean is stinky. North Pole arctic water is freshwater because aliens purify them. Niagara Falls near the USA and Canada, and Lake Tai in China are two connection points of the enormous water purification and filtration system.

Wow, I can’t believe you all went by ship from NY to Japan. My Dad was already in Japan. They put my Mom and I (was 2 years old) on a train from VA to WA and then on the Freeman to sail to Japan in 1949. My Mom was really sick, so some of the other women helped take care of me. We lived at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo for quite sometime as they were still building housing at Botanical Gardens in Kyoto. We came back stateside in 1951. My brother was born in Japan. Great slides from your parents and great pics and slide show that you made.
Yes, we did. The "Alexander" was old and slow. I think it was her last voyage before being scrapped.
The Imperial Hotel in Tokyo was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. It was a remarkable place. Too bad it's gone now. You were lucky to have been able to stay at such a famous place.
@@neilalbaugh4793 さん
I‘m an old fan of Japanese railways.
For reference, the much-talked-about "Imperial Hotel" was dismantled in 1968, but in 1976 it was relocated to the museum "Meijimura" in Inuyama City(犬山市), Aichi Prefecture(愛知県), Japan, where it still stands today.
The entrance and parts of it have been preserved.☺️🍀
(Please search for “Museum Meijimura Imperial Hotel.” “博物館 明治村 帝国ホテル”)
I was enjoying these so much until the end - then I was stunned. My father was stationed on Okinawa about ten years after this. I was about your age, maybe a year or two younger. We took a ship to Japan during our return to the states and stayed three weeks in Tokyo and saw many of the sights you show here. The ship was the Patrick, same as yours. We flew back to the states, Travis AFB, via Alaska. Wonderful memories.
It was a special time and place.

Thanks for the memory. Our family (U.S.Navy) first visit was in ‘47 & ‘48 (Yokosuka) then again when we lived in Yokohama in ‘57 to ‘59 (Yo-Hi). Sure is different now!
Thank you so much :) it's Mesmerizing
You are welcome. I'm glad you liked these photos.
AMAZING!!! this is one of the best sets of vintage tokyo picture i have ever seen!! thank you so much for sharing
Thank you.
金閣寺のカラー写真は初めて見た
現在の金閣寺は火災で燃えてしまっているので
本物じゃないんです
「本物じゃない」という言葉は、少し語弊がありますね。🤔
正しく言うと、昭和25年(1950)7月2日の火災後に「再建された」が該当します。🍀
Neil, thank you for sharing a wonderful part of your life. Bless you
Thanks, Tom.
大変、歴史上貴重な写真だと思います。しかし・・・昔のホームレスは穴を掘ってそこに住んでいた！？？？
まあ証拠写真を見せられたら納得するしかないんですが・・・すげえもの見てしまった
Such incredible clarity and skill behind these photos. Nicely done.
Thank you. My Mother and Father took these pictures with a Canon IIB camera and Kodachrome 35mm color slide film.

昭和天皇の愛馬だった初雪が映ってるのとか、貴重だよな。あとマッカーサー元帥も写ってやがんの。
カラー写真だと、最近のことだったような錯覚になりますね。
…で、今は何時代だったかな。。
This video is so interesting.
I am Japanese and some of the scenery are still there today. I pay a great respect to you and your parents and appreciate you uploading such remarkable video.
*23:14 This building is seems to be "The Yomeimon Gate at the Nikko Toshogu Shrine - Tochigi"
Thank you. Our time spent living in Japan was precious.
Marunouchi area / ginza / shibuya / hachi / has certainly came a long way! Some elements staying the same through time is definitely amazing.
I'm sure that many things have greatly changed.
Thank you!
You are welcome.
I just came back from japan two days ago seeing this blow my mind wow. thanks for this
You are welcome. I think these photos represent much of "old Nippon" which is now gone.
Fabulous! On the one hand, it's a sort of time capsule, on the other hand, these photos look surprisingly modern, asif it was just yesterday.
Kodak Kodachrome has a very low ASA (slow) but the colors are very fine-grain and stable over time.
My father was from Switzerland and had travel to Japan around the late 1940s- early 1950 ish and I remember he would tell stories about his time in Tokyo Japan , crazy how much the landscape of Japan changed, now I have just moved out from Japan after my 3 years of living here. Miss you pops.
Kamakura beach is not difference today compared to this pictures.
thanks for the precious pictures.
You are welcome.
Breathtaking from a bygone era
Facinating & the picture quality is really good. The 1,000 year old Bonsai tree at 13:39 says a lot more about Japanese culture than any words!
Yes, the Japanese have an ancient culture.
@@neilalbaugh4793 👍😊
@@neilalbaugh4793 ... and they are persistent and don't give up in the face of such an awful war and outcome.
@@paranoidhumanoid please stop the noise im just tryna get some rest
i thought most of the photos were surprisingly similar to japan nowadays but farming area without roads or towers for electricities... that's what we never see again in japan today. like 19:35, i haven't ever seen that kind of view even once. it's so beautiful and i was born in japan but i haven't. that's a lost side of japan.
Yes, it was a different time then.
Are the foreigners in the picture your ancestors?
Some pictures show my family but there are also friends shown in the photos.
Thanks for uploading these precious pictures.
I am so glad you all enjoyed to live in Japan.
Yes, it was a very enjoyable time and we had some good Japanese friends in Tokyo.
Thanks so much for sharing these, Neil! So many interesting things to see. Hard to imagine what life would be like while under occupation like this.
The Imperial Hotel stopped me dead in my tracks, I had no idea Frank Lloyd Wright had some architecture over there. Sad to see it's gone, at least the lobby building has been preserved.
Cool to see MacArthur in action aswell.
The Japanese in those days were abjectly poor; they had literally nothing. Japanese would go through our garbage cans looking for food. Had it not been for the occupation, American churches, and civic organization charities many Japanese would have perished.
Awesome pictures
古いとか新しいとか以上にこれだけ鮮明な画像を見ると戦後の日本の生活をとても身近に感じる事ができました！
同じ海や空の色があって、今と比べても変わらんところも沢山あって
これは新しい体験です。Arigatou😊

Nice, I have lived in Japan since the 70's off and on. This was 10 years before I was born :)) I like old nostalgic pictures, Retied, trying to visit many places now Thank you
Im 1961 from ıstanbul🎉
You are welcome.
Thank you so much for sharing valuable pictures.24:14 must be "Yohmeimon-Gate" of "Nikko-Tohshogu" at Tochigi prefecture. and I’m not sure what "obai-sans" means, it might be "obah-sans"(old women)?
Yes, you are right; that photo was taken in Nikko. Thank you for furnishing the correct spelling of "old women". I was mistaken.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful history and a part of your life with us.
You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed them.
Çok güzel,herşey çok değişti,saygı ve sevgi kalmadı,
It’s so amazing to compare the similarities and differences of these photos with my recollections of Tokyo over the last 20 years. Things have come so far.
From the pictures that I have seen of Tokyo it looks quite different now!
Thanks for sharing these high quality photos！
You are welcome.
this is incredible. I live in Japan, Id love to some day narrow down those locations and do then and now pictures maybe.
I enjoyed this so much. I will save the link so I can return to it. How blessed you are to have been there then. I was not born then and have spent time in Japan and am soon going again as my friend is sick and we want to meet again and I want to be in Japan again even for a short time. These photos would make a wonderful book.
Thank you. It was a rare time in Japan, much of Old Japan remained then.
This is so beautiful, thank you so much for sharing this film with us!❤
I am glad to share these photos.
Thank you for sharing. A fascinating look at the past.
You are welcome.

貴重な映像資料
Such well restored photos, a glimpse of the hardship after the war.
Thank you. These photos are not restored. My Mother & Dad took them with a Canon IIB 35mm camera with Kodak Kodachrome film. they are originals that I scanned.
@@neilalbaugh4793 That's Canon's top of the line rangefinder camera released in 1949. It probably worth today's equivalent of over US$4,000.
Expressions of the people in the photos are soothing. I like the atmosphere very much.
I also like your sister being included to the people in many shots.
Thank you for sharing such quality photos with us!
thank you for sharing. I am happy that at least fragments of your experience are online for people to see. Any footage or photographs should be preserved. I've always wanted to visit Japan. Did you ever return in more recent times?
You are welcome. Fortunately my parents had 35mm Kodak Kodachrome film in their cam,eras so the colors are still vibrant and sharp even after so many years. No, I have not been back to Japan; I prefer to remember Nippon as it once was.
just went to kamakura few days ago...very well preserved!
These are so precious. Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome.
Japan is a very beautiful nation,with very beautiful and hardwork habitants,but sadly was a ruined nation by Hideki Tojo and his militia with their g3n0c1d4l mindset that they could conquer the world. Now the nation image is ruined forever,but at least It's over now and Japan managed to recover and to become a rich country and now is a peaceful nation. And gave us Koda Kumi and Ayumi Hamasaki ❤
What's the background song?
Rokudan No Shirabe (Music of Six Steps)
何枚か、着物が左前になっている写真がありますね。フィルムが反転しているのだろうか？それともこういう風習もあった？不思議です。
文字の反転している写真もありますので、フィルムの裏焼きだと思います。🍀
Photos around historical spots at the time are the same as those taken now. That’s interesting.
7:29 sorry but they didn't wear bra back then?
Not when they were nursing their babies and perhaps when working in a farm field. It wasn't a big deal.
breasts are seen differently in all parts of the world , ancient cretans had them hung out even as a symbol of fertility
Nice video. Thanks for sharing
You are welcome.
富士山より八ヶ岳の方が美しいと思います 昔は八ヶ岳の方が高かったのだから
23:14 that's the Toshogu mon in Nikko Miyagi prefecture, not Nara.
Recognized it immediately ^^
Thank you. I used the wrong title from another slide. I will correct this soon.
That is Yomeimon Gate at Toshogu in Nikko, Tochigi pref.
The fact that this started just 3 years after WW2 ended, so shocking
don't have some photos of fighter Zero😊
No, no pictures of an A6M but the main street of Grant Heights, where we lived, had been the main runway of a Tokyo air defense base.
I am a Japanese. Maybe that's why I'm fascinated not so much by the landscape, temples and kimonos -- yes they're historically interesting but we're kinda used to all of them lol -- as by a young American family's experience who spent a part of their life here decades ago. Memories. Fresh surprises. New friends you made in the strange land. Thank you for the beautiful photos. Especially the full-color ones, they're amazing!!! Kudos to the photographer. (Mainly your dad, I presume?)
Thank you for your kind comment. Both my Mother and my Dad took pictures when we lived in Japan. I am glad to share these photos.
Neil,the little boy,is you,right?
解像度高すぎてびびる
風情ある光景だなあ
Those color pictures are incredibly clear, and I cannot believe they were taken more than seven decades ago. In general, Japanese people looked shabby due to the war-torn economy. They had to wait for 10 years until the high-growth era had started.
I have Kodak Kodachrome film to thank for this. The Japanese had just come out of a devastating war and everything was in shambles. The country was abjectly poor but the Japanese were doing their best to survive and rebuild.
These are amazing pictures! Who took them?
My Mother and Father took these pictures- 35mm color slides.
were you and your neighbors close?
We lived in a "quadplex" in Grant Heights so we had three other families living in our building.
Я был тут в г. КАМАКУРА!!!
Thanks a lot for the precious photos. Could you please share the photo data with us on Google Drive, or etc.?
just cut the video
@@kakyoindonut3213 The image quality will be poor, but the data size will be large. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I am not sure how to do that.
May I ask the background music? It's really classic and peaceful!
Click on "show more" for the titles. It is Japanese Koto music performed by a master. I agree with your assesment.
@@neilalbaugh4793 Thanks Neil! Really like your videos and wish you all the best!
@@cowpokea.m.4315 Thank you; I am glad you enjoyed them.
Fascinating, thank you.
You are welcome.
I see a country bearing the unbearable
That is what the Emperor, Hirohito, asked the Japanese people to endure after an unconditional surrender. General MacArthur became the military governor of Japan and essentially ruled Japan. His wisdom, revised Constitution, and generosity brought Japan back into the world community.
I am a japanese surfer who work for US army base. Ｉrode some good waves at Kamakura beach today. which base were you living?
We lived in Grant Heights, a housing area in Narimasu. It no longer exists.

Reconstruction of the Enola GAY had many Troops stationed in Japan. Korea was too Cold. French Indochina was a waste of Hardware. Memorial Day 2023... The only perfect War, is the Cold War.
Occupied Japan must have been very interesting. Australia commanded a third of Japan and America commanded the rest.
この頃の進駐軍人が使うカメラも、コダックにキャノンなのな
it took less then a generation to completely rebuild Japan. same went for my family's ancestral country, South Korea.
My Father served as the Transportation Adviser to the 1st ROK Division in the late 1950s and it was undergoing significant change then.

画質のクセがスゴイ
They lost the war and instantly got all of these foreigners in their country and they couldn't say anything about it lol
Actually the relationship between the US and Japanese people were surprisingly good.
Japan is still under US occupation today. So is South Korea, Philippines, and much of Europe.
Sorry, I will not take the bait that you are so hoping I will fall for. Peddle your tripe elsewhere.
America should have colonized Japan.
Bad idea, Ethan.
@@neilalbaugh4793 My bad, I mean should have "democranized" Japan :D
@@NgJackal1990 Actually, we did. MacArthur was instrumental in revising the Japanese constitution to institute far-reaching changes in the government and even in the Japanese culture. The old militaristic system was swept away and replaced with a modern democratic system.
It's already democratized. Please face reality. 🍀
