tokyo wonderland 06: abandoned US army in fuchu

last sunday, i made a good long cycling to fuchu city in tokyo in order to check out an abandoned US army facility, or haikyo. in japan, there are plenty of haikyos around, but i think its rare to have such an army haikyo preserved (or just left).

although this area looks really cool, its not allowed to enter. probably ordinary haikyos are not welcoming any visitors but everybody just visits them. 

in this case, its too risky to intrude there as there might be a risk to be captured by american army (not by police):o 

the reason why ive got interested in this place is because ive read about the two parabolic antenna (on the picture below) in a magazine. im not sure what sort of signals they can receive. if the owner wants to continue watching japanese TV programmes, probably NHK should inform the owner that it is needed to change antenna to receive digital TV signals. 

they might be very useful if the owner want to follow the latest trends in the evil neighbor or wherever. who knows. 

whats funny about this place is that even local people dont get close to this place, regardless of its coolness. one of my colleagues is from this area but she has told me that she has never seen this haikyo from this distance, as it is dangerous.
however, according to the sign board hanged on the fence, this area is not dangerous.
it is just "bit dangerous." and the reason of its "bit danger" is because of flashers and gropers, not rapists or murderers. what a peaceful country japan is:P
