I lived there 1951-1961.
Traveled Seattle-Yokohama and back via MSTS (the Army’s Navy.)

You were there for the rebuild. What an interesting time that must have been. When I got there the first time, one block of downtown Tokyo was worth more than most American cities, and they were eating shaved gold on their sushi.
The culture is fascinating and I really enjoyed my time there. The willful disregard for history, though, is mind-boggling.
