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!

I took lots of pictures out the window as we twisted & turned along the river. You can still see some morning clouds hanging over the top of the mountains.


Wow - that truck is nearly too big for this highway!


Short tunnel through a large rock.


Driving through one of the small villages where everything is SO close to the highway . . . 40 kmph is less than 25 mph and at times, it almost seems too fast on this highway!


A fisherman in the river with VERY fast current - hope he's OK . . .


More beautiful Nishiki River . . .


We've arrived at the very nice Pure Line rest area on Hwy 187 near Nishiki town. We always stop here for a potty stop & refreshments. Not too busy today - it's a Wednesday mid-morning.


Roses blooming near the water sculpture in the garden outside.


And very fragrant!


Our little blue box . . . with our bikes inside. I love taking our bikes to Tsuwano!
