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!

Interesting perspective of castle roofline.


Replica of one of two golden dolphins that graces the top of the roof. One is female and one is male, but I'm not sure how you tell them apart. The 18K gold plate is 0.15mm thick.


View from the top - and well worth it!


The center staircase has pretty decorations on it. That one looks like a fan.


It gives me vertigo to even look at this picture! Stan took this from the top looking down all 6 flights to the bottom. We were able to ride the elevator the first 4, and walk up the last 2.
