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!

It's just a little after 11:30 when we find the area where the contest will be held. Stan's not here, so we assume he's already checked in & joined the rest of the group for lunch. I love this 3-story clock!


Here's the small stage where this event will be held.


I love these photographs of Gaishi Nagaoka & his fabulous moustache! Check out this website for info about this famous former resident of Kudamatsu. If you like "Engrish" you're gonna LOVE this site! http://www.higesummit.net/en/


And here's his carved wood statue.


Closer view of his photo. Guess Stan has a ways to go . . .
