A History of

U.S. bases in Tokyo

　After the end of the World WarⅡ 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.
