マリリン・モンローと西戸崎｜アメリカがあった町の秘密を知ってる？福岡の歴史を探検！
福岡歴史発見！Fukuoka Memories
31,475 views
Showa-era star Marilyn Monroe visited Nishitozaki Air Base.
Behind this visit lies the deep connection between Fukuoka and the U.S. military.
What is the true nature of "base culture" lurking behind the enthusiasm?
Starting in front of JR Nishitozaki Station, the starting and final stop on the JR Kashii Line, we strolled through bus routes, the beach, shopping streets, and old-time restaurants, and asked locals to share their memories of the time when the U.S. military was here.
The video ends with "America in My Town" playing in the background.
