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're settled in our room & have decided to do some touring. We're riding down a narrow street in a taxi on our way to the dock. We're taking a boat ride that leaves every hour on the hour.


Inside the boat cruise station, we see this beautiful map of the area.


This map shows that Obama is surrounded by mountains & sea, and disected by 3 rivers. We're taking the Sotomo Scenic Cruise today, which is shown at the bottom of this map. The lighter areas show the famous Sotomo rock formations, described as "oddly shaped rocks, rock gate and caves eroded by the powerful waves of the Sea of Japan."
