Tokyo 1659

This is the essence of the Japanese bar scene.

It was like this in 1961 through 1963, so I now realize that these unique bars are still a joy. The only difference now is the Yen exchange. In the early 60s, the exchange rate was 360 Yen per one U.S.dollar. The alleys appear to be paved now with digital lighting. The lighting was a little less bright back then.

It was fun for this young man then......
