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!

We rode back over the tracks on 188 & then turned left along the tracks to find a bridge or tunnel. After only a few minutes of riding through a quiet neighborhood, we find ourselves in front of the Iwakuni Sinfonia.

















Riding our bikes on the covered driveway that passes under part of the building.

















We're here to view ikebana displays today, which is the Japanese art of flower arranging. I like this one hanging from a coatrack. This is less traditional than ikebana I've seen in the past.





















You're going to have to be patient with me . . . I love ikebana and took lots of pictures of my "favorites" -- this one is more classic.





















Stan thought this one represented a crescent moon.
