IN THE HEART OF THE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT.......IT LOOKED MUCH DIFFERENT IN 1961, BUT IT WAS STILL ONE EXCITING PLACE TO BE FOR AN 18 YEAR OLD LAD. I AM SO PROUD OF HOW JAPAN HAS FLOURISHED AND SUCCEEDED.

ANOTHER PHOTO BY mari-ten..............click on their site and go immediately to their fantastic photos on Flickr. A tour through Japan without leaving your PC screen. I am enjoying it immensel. Robert L. Huffstutter

ONE OF THE BEST PHOTOS OF THE JAPANESE COAST I HAVE SEEN. WHILE I WAS IN JAPAN IN THE EARLY 60S, THE COAST WAS NOT NEARLY AS ACCESSIBLE AS IT SEEMS TO BE TODAY. THERE WAS AN INCIDENT WHEN THE YOUNG LADY I WAS WITH WAS STUNG BY A JELLY FISH, THUS THE TRIP TO THE BEACH ENDED WITH MORE THAN A BIT OF PAIN. THANKFULLY, SHE WAS WELL IN A FEW DAYS. I LOVE JAPAN AND IF I GET THE CHANCE, I WILL VISIT THE COAST A BIT MORE. THANKS TO MARI-TEN WHO SHOT THIS FANTASTIC COASTAL PHOTO......
