Abandoned Fuchu Air Base is a memento of the timespan between World War II and the Vietnam War. Half of the base was given to the city of Fuchu for a giant park - Fuchu-no-Mori. Another portion is retained by joint Japan-US air forces. One corner of the base contains an abandoned urban explorers haikyo dream. This part was abandoned in the 1980s for nature to claim as her own. Fuchu Air Base was once vital for communications during the Vietnam and Korean Wars with two giant parabolic dishes. Nowadays, the unused parabolas are lost in a sea of green jungle, rusting and dilapidated by the weather and time. Beneath them, pavements sprout weeds and trees shoot up through the cracks. These two parabolic giants are 13 meters high and were once used to maintain radio communication.
