Identify photo locations

[Passisan]

I have photos of my time in Japan but no location names. I lived in Yokohama from 1948-1950. I have no recollection as I was 1-3 years old. My father was US Army. My grandparents were stationed there also. Any help identifying would be appreciated.

If you have a Facebook account , I believe there is a page/site there for Yokohama. I'll bet someone there will know. I was stationed south of there at Hakata Base and I have about 500 pictures with no info also. Maybe someone here lives in the area and will recognize the locations. Give it a day or two and you might get lucky.

Great advice. Thank you.

Do you have any idea where he was stationed specifically?

It's a long shot, but I wonder if the building in the background is the Kanagawa Prefectural Government Building

I wonder if you have more photos, especially of the coastline? I have tried to find out about the island in your second shot, but it's neither Sarushima (Yokosuka) nor Enoshima.

Great find, definitely some resemblance.

It might not be an island. It could be a point or cape. Assuming the pic was taken in the afternoon, the man's shadow gives you some idea of coastline orientation. So it could be a location similar to this. But I don't think it's here unless they totally reshaped the landscape.
