What is this orange and white tower? It’s not quite in Tokyo…sitting 3 kilometers from the city’s border. It’s not Tokyo Tower.

An exceptionally barren stretch of land… a strange sight.

A lovely site.

Where is it? What is it?

…

It is the Tokorozawa Transmitter Site 所沢市, part of the US military Tokorozawa communication base 米軍所沢通信基地.
