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 was one of the most popular exhibits - Cinderella's slipper on a blue staircase.


Giant snowflakes.


Isn't this picture frame cute? Many families wanted Santa-san to join their family picture.


The baby in red was rushed into this photo at the last minute by her mother, who is behind holding her up!


This smaller scale replica in lights of the Atom Bomb building represents Hiroshima. The actual building is the only one left in it's original state from the 1945 nuclear bombing of the city. It's a reminder to eliminate nuclear weapons and promote world peace.

The coolest thing about these lights is that you can walk around, inside and under them. All are perfect backdrops for picture-taking and Japanese children are very adept at posing.

The lights are beautiful, but I think my favorite part is Stan as Santa, with all the little Japanese kids mobbing him. You need to get him a red coat! :)
