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!

On Hwy 187 - Masuda & Tsuwano are still straight ahead . . .


It's 26C here (only 78.8 F) at 11:15 AM. It's cooler here in the mountains.


I remember this bright orange "open tunnel" - not really a tunnel because you can see through one side down into the river.


See?


Looks like new chain link has been recently installed to help prevent rocks from falling onto the highway.


Except look how they worked around this small roadside shrine.


Town limits for Tsuwano - but we still have a ways to go.


Another "open tunnel" . . .


And the turquoise bridge.


Look how beautiful those rice fields have been terraced up toward the house. Good use of sloping land.
