This abandoned US military base is located in Fuchu-city, Tokyo. Many abandoned buildings are hidden in the forest located next to the base of the Japanese Self-Defense forces. There are many buildings and facilities including a relay station, barracks and two huge parabolas in the base. A tower of communications in the west of the base which is 107meters high seems to be still working there.
You could feel as if you were walking in a jungle, when you go explore in the forest inside the base. Of course, you are not allowed to enter this base now.
米軍基地の廃墟は東京の府中市にあり、多くの放棄された建物が森の中に隠されています。敷地内には、通信の中継基地、兵舎、そして中央に2つの巨大なパラボラアンテナを持っています。西側にある107メートルの通信塔はまだ現役で動いています。その広大な基地の森を旅していると、ジャングルにいるような感覚になってきます。
The other day, we took the defensive position near the base to make an excursion to the US military base. This military base is surrounded by exclusion fences . I started to explore this area with a fellows Mr. Asai very early in the morning. He is a Japanese urban explorer, and his web site “Rusty Garden” is dealing with lots of photos of abandoned locations.
Now, my goal is to climb up one of the parabolas in the base. We’ve headed deeper into the forest with caution to patrol cars . After looking around for a while, we were able to find two parabolas stood inconspicuously in the forest. I’ve succeeded in climbing the antenna. How beautiful the rising sun was! This is a unbelievable cool place to climb up! And then, this spectacular spot had been gradually hidden behind trees.
今回の我々の作戦は、友軍の航空支援をジャミングしているパラボラアンテナを無力化する事だ。デルタフォースのチームの麻井大尉と合流しジャマーを焼き友軍を支援する。我々は敵車列に注意し、森の奥へと進軍。煙幕を展開し雑草を掃除、目標地点であるパラボラアンテナに到達した。私は勝利を確信しながらアンテナに登頂し、目標を無力化。任務終了後のブラックフォークから見る朝日は最高の勲章だ。※すべてフィクションです。

いいね！やっぱりここは最高なスポットだな。一度行ってみたい！
アンテナは必見だね。行ってない場所がまだたくさんあるよ。私ももう一度行きたい。しかしリスクも多い…
Great shots Ikumi! Especially the ones next to the dishes. Hey, why is your mask’s eyes are so red!? Did you do something to your mask? It’s very cool! I don’t remember it was like this before. I’m still looking for a TOTORO outfit for haikyo, but I didn’t find it 🙁 By the way, I just uploaded my pictures on my blog: http://blog.meow.fr/blog/fuchu-air-force-base.
