JAL Building

My friend Kaz works for Japan Airline (JAL) and as a family unit they are typically transferred every 3 years. At the time of planning our trip Kaz was expecting to be transferred at any time. Thankfully they were still based near Osaka when we touched down.

As an employer Japan Airlines provides accommodation to its employees and Kaz and his family live in a 3 bedroom apartment as part of a large complex of eight apartment blocks.

The photo above reflects one of those blocks in the window of their family car prior to our departure on a weekend driving around the peninsula.

Much like apartment blocks elsewhere the balconies give insights into the lives of those residing inside.

At the front of the building - garbage and recycling are very strict in Japan.
