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!

Stan pointed this out - skylight tiles in the roof?


And a beautiful roof trim piece with a smiling face, and probably a family crest below.


All these houses facing the river had steep driveways or stairs down to the level of their houses. I'm guessing that at some time in the past, the road was raised, along with a seawall to protect homeowners from flooding.


Practical metal shutters that slide closed to protect the windows. Wow - we could have used something like this when we lived in Gulf Shores!


Beautiful yard with covered parking out front.
