Foreign Friday

Outdoor Market
Tokyo, Japan
Spring 1980
I loved shopping in Japan, especially in Tokyo's bustling, outdoor markets where the stores were packed with interesting items. These markets were open long into the evening.

Since I served on the Overseas Education Association (OEA) board, I was fortunate to visit Tokyo several times for meetings during my two years in Japan. Trains did not travel from Misawa to Tokyo while I was in Japan, so the OEA representatives from Misawa flew stand-by on the military transports.

  6. So much color and activity! I've never been to an outdoor market, but it reminds me of the Reading Terminal in Philly. I had a ball there, especially since our conference had it to ourselves on evening.
