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!

Once we arrive at Miyajimaguchi Station (only about 15 min's ride from Iwakuni) we walk about a block & then have to go through a tunnel to cross under busy Hwy 2. Here's some of the beautiful murals inside the tunnel.


Closer view shows the Torii Gate and Itsukushima Shrine behind.


After walking another couple of blocks, we're approaching the ferry landing.


The JR ferry runs every 15 minutes or so, so if you miss one, you just catch the next one. We bought our ferry tickets in Iwakuni when we bought our train ticket, so we can just get in line for the next ferry.
