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!

Interesting & colorful artwork outside a shop.


And looking inside, this piece reminds me of a very colorful saguro cactus in AZ, and it's contemporary design reminds me of my son's wife Lisa, who is an artist in Nashville, TN. I think she would like this very artsy little town.


Many beautiful Japanese gardens around town. This one has more primitive stone sculptures, and although it's November & a little chilly here in the mountains, there are still flowers blooming!


We got hungry and found a small restaurant. The menu was in Japanese, but that never stops us! We know enough Japanese now to just order what we like or ask for a lunch set. We've started with cold draft beer & were also served a little dish of someting yummy. Our wrapped hand-cleaning cloths were heated, which felt good!


We're sitting at the sushi bar & looking right through the glass at everything I want! Notice the wood boards on the shelf in front of the raw fish? That's right above our counter & where our sushi will be placed as we order.
