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!

Driving on Hwy 188 which goes under the Oshima Island bridge. The current through the pass is very swift here . . .


Stone entrance with lanterns alongside the highway.


Still on 188 heading to Hikari. It's about a 2 hour drive for us because we don't speed and always stop at McDonald's, but we're never in a hurry . . .


I guess we've never parked along the side of McDonald's in Yanai. I never realized they have a drive-thru! It's not very common here. This is a great place to stop for coffee & clean bathroom. And they always have classical music playing inside - which always reminds me of Eldon & Nancy (now living in Italy).


I got a latte but Stan had breakfast with his coffee.


Back on the road - I love this beautiful drive along the sea!


Never get tired of seeing these giant rocks alongside Hwy 188.


Look at those colors!


We're there! Goldfish & turtles eating bread someone has given them at the Hikari Market. It's a bright sunny day & still pretty hot.


The best area is under & around this huge tree! We didn't stay very long, but it was fun to look around & we ran into Betsy & Paul.
