Season 12 Episode 8 - Osaka Express Bus Terminal: Springtime Departures
The setting is the express bus terminal in Namba, Osaka. With affordable fares to destinations across the country, the terminal is busy with people in the spring. Some are returning home for the first time in a while after the state of emergency was lifted. Others are women who have nurtured long-distance relationships on express buses and are now getting married. There are also parents and children who are starting a life apart as the children have secured jobs in Fukuoka. Even amid the COVID-19 pandemic, there are people embarking on new journeys for employment or further education. What kind of steps are they taking now? We listen in over three days.
