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!

When I asked this lady if the little lively fish were "oishi?" (delicious), she replied, "no, but they are for my health." The last time I saw someone eating this dish, it was an elderly lady, whose daughter told me that her mother (who did not speak English) was telling the fish "gomenasai (sorry) for eating you!"


Watching sushi chefs do their magic inside Akiyama. They take good care of us here & always know what we like!


Flowers outside a business on Hwy 188.


We decided to pedal up the hill to MaxValu supermarket & buy some fresh foods. Here Stan is having our bakery selections wrapped & priced. Behind him is a vending machine where you can buy coffee & several tables where you can sit & enjoy - how convenient!


Closer view of some of the breads & pastries. These will all sell out today & tomorrow all will be fresh.
