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!

Artwork on the wall depicts this area.


At the counter, Stan noticed this official certificate.


A little blurry, but our bartender attended Draft Master's School . . .


With our tummies satisfied, we all head outside where Stan spots a striking wood boat on display. Of course, we have to investigate. Apparently, it's famous for an around-the world tour, starting in Japan. This map shows it's path. (Notice that maps on this side of the world show the Pacific Ocean in the center, instead of the Atlantic, as we Americans are used to.)


Around the world cruise 1991-1997. Wow -- what an adventure that must have been!
