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!

This shot shows the exact location (according to the map) of where the sun would set today.


View from the front door as we leave. There's a walkway going up that hillside & a statue on the very top, but don't think I want to climb that today.


Huge shrubs of rosemary(?) are growing along the road as we walk down the hill to where our car is parked. We used to have lots of these when we lived in Phoenix.


Closer view of the delicate purple flowers.


Godzilla peers over a tree as we drive away. If you turn right & drive under him, you can continue along the sea to the end of the island, but we're not going to do that today. We're going to turn left & go back over the bridge back to the mainland.

I think those purple flowers are actually an odd variety of sage.
