They still have that sense of company loyalty and lifetime employment that, sadly, has died out in America. But the Japanese take this loyalty to the extreme.

It is a jackpot night when you get a seat on the train. From September through November, we took a Japanese Culture Class offered by the Family Support Center on base.
