A fleet of big green Army buses picked up and dropped off passengers in front of the PX/Commissary complex in Yokohama. My pals and I liked to take one bus from Yokohama to Yokosuka to go roller skating on the Navy base.
The skating rink was on the second floor of one of the long building you mentioned. A Navy hand would skate backwards to keep us kids under control.

I love it...I spent as much time as I could afford up on that second story roller skating rink! Loved it!

They had the disco ball and everything..I remember being fascinated by the patterns as they swam by...:)

A most interesting place indeed...I was there between 1967 and 1969...
