  1. Made it to Kintai-kyo Bridge in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi, Japan. It was built by Lord Kikkawa Hiroyoshi in 1672 & is a national treasure. (The history of this bridge is too detailed to cover. Just know it's rly important to the Japanese)

    It's mostly made of 6 types of wood - each with a different purpose. It's construction is an engineering marvel, having improved each time it's been destroyed by floods.

    It's overseen by Iwakuni Castle on the hills.

  2. I’m traveling in Japan at the moment, and we are visiting Iwakuni, where my parents met. My sister Rose and I scattered my older sister Marichan’s ashes in the Nishiki river, near the Kintai bridge. We offered our prayers and committed her to our ancestors. #iwakuni #kintaikyobridge #japan #kintaibridge #yamaguchi
