sixcyl ◊ 2024-03-08 23:10	Pan Am's touristic film to Japan: the "old" Japan of tradition and the "new" modern Japan where “East meets West.” It includes a great deal of footage shot in Tokyo, Kyoto, and rural Japan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9JaX8BKpFs&t=322s Background vehicles: Boats: Trains and tramways:
Lateef ◊ 2024-03-09 00:28	Pretty sure the street-level photography predates 1959, more like 1953. I have watched enough Japanese movies from the 1950s to know it looked nothing like this in 1959. It's probably a case where leftover footage is spliced with new footage of the 707 and contemporarily clad American travellers.

In 1959 all these Japanese cars were scrapped or at best sold as cheap second-hand cars and were hardly seen in circulation. Instead Toyopet Crowns, Datsun 210s were flooding the roads. One of the countries with the lowest car life expectancy at that time.
