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!

The larger room where most folks are eating their BBQ & drinking. Our group was in a private room. Guess they've had American groups before . . .?


Our two hours is up (actually we could only eat & drink for 1-1/2 until we'd had enough! This looks like an open doorway at the end of the hall near the looooong escalator, but it's a window. I love these windows that go all the way to the floor & frame a pretty view.


Stan on the way down the escalator. Yep - he's had his fill . . .


Banners hanging from the ceiling in the gift shop area of the lobby.


Wine cake? Guess we'll have to buy one of these . . .


Beer-barrel containers contain "beer cake" - can't wait to try this! Yep, we'll take one of those too.


Well, well - what's all this?


Aha - this explains it . . .


I also bought this cute bottle of apple wine. It's "wine" like sake is wine - more than 20% alcohol - very strong! But sweet & yummy! I've discovered it's better to drink it in tiny sake cups rather than in a large wine glass tho . . .


And Stan found something he likes - 10-year old single malt "whisky" . . . nice to know there's something for everyone! The next morning, we were trying to figure out why we bought so much stuff . . .
