Japan Airlines (JAL) will operate its dual-location living program, “Tsunagaru, Two-Region Living 2026,” from September 1 through January 31, 2027.
The program will expand from six areas in fiscal 2025 to 36 areas across Japan. Participation requirements include making the minimum number of visits specified for each area, ranging from one to four visits; staying overnight in the participating area during each visit; and using JAL Group-operated flights. Participants will receive support equivalent to the base mileage for one to two round trips, depending on the area, from Tokyo/Haneda or Osaka/Itami to the airport nearest their stay destination.
At each destination, participants will be offered “connection experience menus” designed to encourage interaction with the local community. Beginning this fiscal year, KANTSUNA, a new JAL Group company, will serve as the program’s administrative office.
Applications will be accepted from July 17 through August 2. Applicants must be JAL Mileage Bank members at the time of application, among other requirements. Results are scheduled to be announced on August 7.
“Tsunagaru, Two-Region Living” is a program that allows participants to experience dual-location living by establishing another living base in a region separate from their primary residence and cultivating meaningful ties with that community. The program was first held in fiscal 2025, when the number of applicants reached approximately three times the available capacity.
