JAPAN ADVENTURE

Welcome to Margie & Stan's Japan Adventure - our photo blog while living on MCAS Iwakuni in beautiful Yamaguchi Prefecture in Western Japan from 8/2004 to present. My photo above is the famous Kintai Bridge right here in Iwakuni. Be sure to check out Blog Archive (below left) for highlights of our travels. And leave us a comment - we'd love to hear from you!

Freight train at Hiroshima Station.

Although the Shinkansen only takes 15 minutes from Iwakuni to Hiroshima, the local takes between 40-50 minutes (faster on the Rapid, which only runs once an hour.) Local trains run about every 10 minutes.


At Hiroshima Station, we can board the trolley, which travels all around the city & stops about every block or so. No matter how far you go, you only pay 150 yen each time you depart. On the trolley now, we pass another trolley -- very close!
