If its Japan, I can't get the C-124As (no pimple) away from Tachikawa - the main USAF transport base in Japan - (other than Ashiya - which it ain't) during the Korean War. Its changed a lot and was considered short (only 4900ft) even then.
So my half guess is
Tachikawa - near Tokyo.
Found this gruesome quote -
"According to a report by Major General Victor E. Bertrandias, Deputy Inspector General, Department of the Air Force, there were a total of 685 personnel, including 149 pilots, killed in transport accidents in 1951 and 1952. There were 107 cargo-type aircraft destroyed, resulting in a materiel loss of many millions of dollars.
The first airplane crash with over 100 fatalities involved a Douglas C-124A Globemaster carrying U.S. military personnel from Japan to Korea on June 18, 1953. The accident occurred approximately three miles from Tachikawa, Japan. Seven crew members and 122 passengers perished in the accident. There were no survivors."
