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!

Riding near the edge of the sea, looking at the rows of stone lanterns and pine trees.


A large stone lantern with up-tipped "roof" like the pagoda.


Stone foo dog stands in protection.


Stan in front of a very unusually-shaped, supported palm tree. Japanese make every effort to save a tree . . .


We were surprised by this raccoon snooping around. We'd never seen one here before.

Hi Margie,
I don't know if you remember me, we exchanged a few e-mails a few weeks ago… (Nicholas Kristof, Target, the euthanized dog from Afghanistan, I'm originally from Hamburg, now living in Minnesota). Thanks for sharing your photos of life in Japan! I particularly love the picture of the planting in front of someone's house, the torii gate, and the lantern in the park. Wonderful!
Greetings from very cold and snowy Minnesota,
Marina
