In addition to the option of having AJX provide hotel accommodations for you while you are in Japan, there is an option to receive an accommodation allowance so that you may rent your own apartment in Japan. This allowance comes with some very detailed requirements in terms of where you may reside. Generally, within a certain proximity to one of the two airports (Haneda or Narita). The allowance for authorized apartments is 200,000 JPY per month.

When receiving this additional allowance, the pilot must then assume all ground transport costs in the Tokyo area including taxi rides when public transport is not available.
