Hotel New Grand in Yokohama

This hotel was one of my favorite western hangouts while I was stationed in Japan in 1961 through 1963 at NAS Atsugi. I loved the beautiful woodwork in the bar; the fact that it was once the headquarters of General MacArthur. I enjoyed the entire area around the bund. When I wanted to go to the more traditional areas, I went to Chinatown for nightlife, Sankien Gardens for nature and throughout all of Yokohama. It was and remains to be one of my favorite cities of the world. I have a collection of photos I took in Japan during the early 60s posted on Flickr. Editor
