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!

Hmmm, think camoflage makes these tanks "invisible" out here in the sand? This whole area was reclaimed from the Sea since we've been in Iwakuni. This whole area was under water just a few years ago. They took down a whole mountain across town to build all this . . .


Looking toward the dock where the ships unload.


Here's the big Japanese seaplane that used to be on display in another park on base. That park was destroyed during construction of the new port & runway.


And the bathrooms attached to a picnic pavillion.


Here's another Japanese plane.
