I was trying to imagine where you live, so I put the name of the park in Google maps, and came up with this. For the life of me, I was unable to capture the picture of the map to post here. Is the map showing the park near your home?
When I was in the Navy, I was stationed in Sasebo, Japan for a couple of years. The ship I was on would come up to Yokosaka a couple of times a year for maintenance and training. This was from 1968-1970. In 1970, a Navy buddy and I went to the World's Fair in Osaka.
More recently, in 1988 (if you can call that recently :teeth_smile:), while in the Naval Reserve, our diving unit was heading for Guam and Palau for our 2-week annual active duty. Two other reservist buddies of mine and I had our tickets changed to stop in Tokyo on the way there instead of Hawaii. We took the Navy bus from the Tokyo airport down to Yokosaka, to see how the place had fared after twenty years. Things certainly had gotten more expensive. They wanted $6 for a beer! Twenty years earlier, it had been 30 cents!! From Yokosaka, we visited a town about 60 miles away, where one of my buddies had spent some years in the mid-50s as a "Navy brat." Amazingly, the same hobby shop was still in business, and the son of the shop owner, with whom he'd played when was a kid, was now the shop owner himself. Needless to say, we were wined and dined for a day or so and had a great time.

Hi Jim,
The story of Japan comes out from you and it's surprised.
I clicked this you had linked,but first appearance of google map is not Kashiwanoha park.
http://www.pref.chiba.jp/english/whatnew/zyouban/index.html
This site writen in English is more better for your preference.
Accurately saying, the place where I live is located in northeast and about 20miles far from Tokyo.
Once upon a time ,This district was an open range for horses of Samurai.
and before world war 2 ,was an airport of Japanese army. After war,It was used as Kashiwa Transmitter station of the U.S.Army.(at first,C company,Far East Command Signal Service Battalion,8235th Army Unit. at last Operating Location B,1956th Communications Group,Air Force)
Recently,this district it had been restored to Japan by The U.S.Army& Air Force became a Kashiwanoha park. it's a interesting story!
Regarding 1970 the world's Fair in Osaka,Waoh,The Osaka Exposition is missed for me.
Because it was a Osaka Expo visit that I had make a business trip for the first time as a new employee.
and Yokosuka,I have the experience of going to the naval review that leave Yokosuka twice. and Sasebo,Though I have not been to Sasebo,It is famous as the town where the naval base.

From my home, I go to work with an express train called Tsukuba Express to Ginza.
This is the latest train about 80 miles per hour speed.
