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!

Fruit & Santa . . .



Walking outside Hiroshima Station, we're waiting at the streetcar station now. I like the wording on this interesting billboard!


Looking down at the rails while we wait for our streetcar. Wonder how old these stones are? Were they here before the atomic bomb hit Hiroshima . . .???


We got off at the Hatchobori stop & we're standing in the middle of this wide road, waiting for the light, so we can cross the street. What an efficient way to design public transportation!


We were planning to have a hamburger at The Shack for a late lunch, but found out they are closed on Sundays. OK - time for Plan B. We headed instead into the large Parco Department store, and soon spotted this Cafe Du Monde. We've seen this before, but never stopped. Well, this seems like a better idea than lunch . . .
