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!

Vines & plants in front of a shop - perched over the open canal where the fish swim.


Vines growing in front of a restaurant on a main street in Tsuwano. That's Stan in red with his bike. This is a great place to have bicycles - we get to see so much more since parking is not readily available for everywhere you might want to go.


Ah - these are not just vines - but cherry tomatoes!


And plenty of blooms to create even more of these beautiful little tomatoes.


Cute little red mailbox outside a restaurant.


Beautiful house & garden in Tsuwano with fancy wooden gate.


View of rice fields taken from the bridge leading from Tsuwano to to our hotel on the hill.


Stan at the main entrance, which is on the back side of the hotel. This area through the white curtains is open to the outside.


In our room - it was a MUCH larger room this time with a balcony. Guess this is the "off-season" for Tsuwano? Hey Sue, remember the "ladybug sign" that I posted when we stayed here before? They also had one on this sliding glass door to our balcony. This time I understand what it means, and I will NOT open the window overnight & let in the ladybugs . . .


Gorgeous view of Tsuwano below from our balcony in late afternoon.
