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 walked down the ramp (where handicapped can be driven to the top) instead of all the stairs & ended up where we left our bikes -- near the potties. This stone bridge leads to the entrance of the Temple where we were.


Closer view of the waterfalls under the bridge. What beautiful music they make!


Man taking a picture of the ginko tree. See the stone pillar next to him?


Stan took this one looking through it.


View from about half-way down the hill. The vermilion-painted Gojunoto (five-storied pagoda) is 27.6 meters high and is a beautiful fusion of Japanese and Chinese architectural styles. It was built in 1407, and used to enshrine a Buddhist statue.
