[4K] "Okinawa's Real Face" Walk through Koza Town, Non-stop Walk, OKINAWA in JAPAN 

具体的に想像してなかった自分を恥じています。この動画の様な状況が良い悪いではなく、沖縄のことを本当に他人事だと思っていた。それぐらい異世界のように感じます。沖縄はずっと昔からこうなんだ。教えてくれてありがとうございます。

Stationed there some things never change we are all young once otherwise the island people are one of the nicest people I've met

First thing I see is a gorgeous Livistona chinensis palm tree, I love Okinawa already!

It's great to see PEOPLE on the streets again. My last 4 trips over (2014-2019) Koza was like a ghost town, day or night. Nice video, thanks 😊

I miss okinawa japan bc street..90 to 95.

I miss oki

thanks for the memories from the late 80s

Great times on that street from 09-2011!!!

Great video.I'm your Fan

I LOVE❤ BEAUTIFUL OKINAWA JAPAN" FROM JAKARTA CITY, INDONESIA.❤💖💜💕

January 1st 1953 we had just got news that Hank Williams had died a real tragedy then. Korean war would last another 7 months. I was 18 then an was walking down the street in Koza, dirt road beer halls on one side crowded with g.i.s listening to Hank singing Kia Liga.I remember it like it was yesterday although it was more than 70 years.

Lots of military folks? My daughter and her family are over there right now. I hope to go visit them in the next year.

はじめまして。 散歩動画いいですね！ 雰囲気が感じられてgood👊 登録させていただきます^_^

Looks more like downtown Brooklyn.

Can you do a walk thru nominuoe? Bar district

これだけ出歩いてると言う事は100%ペイデイで間違い無い！✨😁

Are there many martial art clubs in Okinawa?

Remember Koza riot in December 20, 1970.

As much as I enjoyed seeing GATE 2, I wish there were more to view. The side streets where there wasn't anything going on was boring. YET, I believe the stroll did show some of BC street. Since there was no audio describing what was being shown, I am only guess it was BC street as it somewhat looks like it did back in the '80 when I was stationed in OKI.

よふかしの影響で最近夜遊びしてる人です。コザにこんなとこあったんだ！今度行ってみます。(誰か守って)

これが見たかった！ アメリカンヴィレッジよりはるかにリアルなアメリカ。是非私も散策してみたいと思いました。 ありがとうございます

I believe this is gate 2 Kadena! Just as you enter gate 2, to the right, back in "69" , there was an elementary school located there. I believe it was "70" or "71" that there was a protest that had started at gate 2, and there was no highway bridge there then, that had blown out of proportion, and a mamasan, during the protest, had been struck by a car and was killed. This started a huge reaction! They stormed the base and burnt part of the elementary school, burnt, I believe it was 70 cars that were parked off base. The news blew it so out of proportion back in the states! They reported there were 170 cars burnt and all kinds of other damage. But protests at the time would occur pretty much on a monthly bases. That was during the Vietnam war and they were always protesting the warfare equipment being brought through the island. Understandable, but predictable. Koza was so much different back then. The shops and bars were all more open. I went to High school at Kubasaki while there.

Damn doesn’t even feel like Japan at gate 2 Okinawa

Are those gaijin mostly in the military stationed there or could some of them be tourists?

俺の地元！！やっぱ地元は落ち着くね。

Okinawa is not a small island 🏝 😆

車でよく通ってた道だけどアメリカ人が沢山居るのはあの歩いてる一角だけだよね。スタート地点から基地(もどるとこ)までの間。しかも週末の夜だけだったような。金曜日か土曜日の夜はヤバい。 ここ数年で商店街に居酒屋が増えてきたから中の方は沖縄人多いね。

Swishing pants and marching boots?

え、胡屋じゃないの？

And I thought it was some kind of American city

Is that Okinawa or somewhere in LA?

I was stationed there from 1975-1978. The two main streets were called Gate 2 Street (Kadena Air Force Base) and BC Street. I seldom saw any white girls downtown.

多少治安は悪いけど楽しい所だよ

13%

Was this even there in like 1988?

こういう街が今後増えない様に！ 治安悪化に繋がる

Seems so odd ... cares facing the 'wrong' way .. and NO BARKERS .... W T H ????

Sí que se han mezclado las culturas 🤔 Japón está cambiando, atrás en la historia están quedando sus raíces ancestrales 😶

最初と終盤の地域は日本人は遊びに行かない地域なのかな？リトルアメリカって感じですね。繁華街から少し離れると街灯も少なく寂しく危ないね。。しかし外人女性って太ってる人ばっかりですね

植民地...

ほとんどが米軍の関係者だろうから、そんなに治安を心配する必要もないとは思うが、 これがわけのわからん貧乏国からの流れ者だと大変なことになるだろうな。 どこやらみたいに。

Okinawa is the least desirable place to spend time in Japan.
