JGSDF Camp Okubo, 京都府にある陸上自衛隊の駐屯地
JGSDF Camp Okubo is a Japan Ground Self-Defense Force military base located in the city of Uji. The facility comprises multiple buildings, training grounds, vehicle yards, and open spaces enclosed within security fencing.
The base was established in 1957 shortly after World War II when Japan was building its independent self-defense forces. Since then it has evolved while remaining a key training facility within the local defense infrastructure.
The site is not open to the public but remains partially visible from the surrounding residential area. Visitors can observe the perimeter and activities from adjacent streets while interior areas are secured by fences.
The base is known for regular training exercises conducted by soldiers that are sometimes visible or audible from adjacent streets. These everyday activities offer glimpses into the routines and discipline of Japan's military training operations.
