[Yamaguchi] Visit Iwakuni Base, a special place that is usually off-limits

#0yentrip I went to Iwakuni Air Base on Friendship Day. Iwakuni Air Base is normally closed to the public, but it is only open to the public on Friendship Day once a year. So it was crowded with people from the morning. A large number of aircraft were lined up on the large grounds, and I was overwhelmed by the power of the fighter jets and transport planes seen up close. There was also a flight demonstration, and I couldn't help but stare at the explosions that seemed to cut through the air and the movements of the aircraft. There were also American food stalls lined up on the base, and it was impressive to be able to enjoy a little bit of a foreign atmosphere while eating hamburgers and hot dogs. It was a day where I felt a special atmosphere that was different from usual.
