"In the relaxing environment of the hospital, Soga, 45, and her daughters are expected to discuss the family's future, while monitoring the progress of Jenkins' treatment.
Jenkins has been given a private room, while Soga and the two daughters are staying in a room next to his.
Soga's room has three beds and a television. A connecting door to Jenkins room allows the family to come and go as they please.
As the rooms are not equipped with cooking facilities, the family ate meals prepared by the hospital.

On Monday, an official from the Cabinet Secretariat abductee office has been stationed in the hospital to act as a liaison for the family, but Soga and her family received no visitors and they did not venture outside.
