    I was actually stationed at Iwakuni 10 years ago, you guys may have been there the same time I was living there! Living in Iwakuni was the best 2 years of my life; something awesome about living in small-town Japan that I miss so much to this day. I wouldn't hesitate to move back again given the opportunity. Also, that soft serve ice cream place usually has lines that snake around the corner because of how popular it was, especially during Sakura season and Obon. Kind of strange to see no line at all!

Iwakuni Castle had magnificent views and made me interested to learn more about how life was lived in a Japanese castle. And all the food was interesting and looked delicious. I was really drawn to the kawara soba, Iwakuni sushi, renkon korokke, and the soft serve ice cream, of course. I'm a sucker for soft serve! Thank you for taking us with you. ❤️❤️

    I’ve been watching for a couple years now and I was so excited to see Iwakuni in a video! There are so many amazing places, but I feel like you need to see some countryside of Japan too to really experience Japan. Iwakuni is a great place to do that. I may be a little biased living there, but you mentioned so many things I enjoy. Whenever I want to walk around in nature I go to the Kintai area and spend a couple hours there with my kids. The saukura trees get all the attention as they are so beautiful, but ume blossoms are exciting because it means winter is ending.

    When I was stationed in Iwakuni while serving in the Marines -- 1998 ?? Marines called that bridge "KeenTai" -- Not sure. We loved that place. We tried to be humble when there but there was always that one Marine with us that made us look rude. If that was or is your experience, I am sorry. The Blossom Festival was absolutely beautiful! The バスルームライン lines were very long! |By the way, we would actually swim there just after the falls. The Japanese either thought we were nuts or rude. Not sure.??

    Thank you Shinichi and Satoshi for taking us on this adventure to the Kintaikyo Bridge. When I visited relatives in Japan back in 2006, I had a choice of visiting Miyajima Island or the Kintaikyo Bridge, as we only had one day to sightsee. We chose Miyajima Island, a decision I never regretted and I have been back to Miyajima two more times since then. I had always wondered about the Kintaikyo Bridge and thanks to your visit, I now know what I have been missing. On my next visit after the Pandemic is over, I will definitely visit the Kintaikyo Bridge and the castle. I want to wander the town, cross the bridge, see the castle, have soft-serve ice cream and feast on the local foods. Can't wait to go back to Nihon. Gokurosama deshita!
