A History of U.S. bases in Tokyo 　After the end of the World War�U in 1945, the bases and facilities of the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy were requisitioned by the Allied Forces (U.S. Forces). 　Those bases and facilities were provided to the U.S. Forces for their use under the San Francisco Peace Treaty and the old Security Treaty which were put into effect in 1952. At that time, there were 208 U.S. military bases in Tokyo. 　Since then, thorough many years of efforts by local residents, municipalities and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, most of the U.S. military bases in Tokyo have been consolidated, downscaled or returned to Japan. However, eight of them are still located in Tokyo.
