TV Writer Born on Camp Zama Returns to Japan More Than 60 Years Later

"I still feel a connection to this place. It's like a dream to come back and see it," Frank Spotnitz, a TV writer and producer, said of Camp Zama.

Spotnitz is best known for his work on "The X-Files" and "The Man in the High Castle." He was born on Camp Zama in 1960 when his father worked as a physician at the hospital that was then located here.

Spotnitz recently visited Japan for the first time since he left at 4 years old to revisit his birthplace and received a tour together with his wife.
