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!

Closer view of some of the detail. Of course this was only half of the music box . . .


Origami crane ropes - 1000 cranes fastened together for encouragement/good luck/peace.


Snoopy loves Hello Kitty in Japan . . .


On the restaurant floor, I had a salmon lunch set with cool salad, warm egg custard, miso soup & pickles. Oishi (Delicious)!


Stan's was the same, but with maguro (tuna) instead. Yum! GREAT lunch & impeccable service at a mall restaurant in Kudamatsu's "The Mall".


Clock tower where the Mustache Contest was held a few years ago. That was the last time we visited this mall. Sadly, there hasn't been another contest since the first one though when Stan won 3rd place. Check blog archives for more info . . .


Stopping at the bakery for a few fresh-baked goodies before we leave.


In the parking deck, this is where Stan said, "Where's our car?" - of course it was there . . .
