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!

This snake like thing is a trench built from brick. It�s purpose? To carry the excess water runoff from the mountainside. In Japan, aesthetics are as important as the function of the device. In the US, I am afraid it would have been an open ditch carved from the dirt. Posted by Picasa
