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!

Very short tunnel carved out of solid rock. The blue mesh to the right keeps rocks from falling onto the narrow road.


Narrow Hwy 187 passing through a small village.


On the other side of the Nishiki River, we see the colorful Nishiki Trolley just approaching a tunnel. The trolley runs right alongside the river, but on the opposite side from the highway - right against the mountainside.


Shops & homes close to the highway in another small village.


The road sometimes crosses back & forth over the river. This is a very beautiful drive!
