The ad revenue from the last video I will donate should reach $10,000 and the money you donated brings it up to a total of $15,000 that we raised! Let's keep going and buy that homeless center in Shinjuku! Give here now: www.jpkb.org/akiramenai
Good work Alyssa. For the cruel people in the comments: Poverty is a societal choice not a law of nature. There has been enough wealth and resources to give every human on the planet a dignified life for decades now. Those who make the cruel comments are the very people that cause others to live in poverty.
Hi oriental pearl love your videos it’s really sad people are homeless I keep seeing some places were homeless who don’t have a job because I don’t have a job or a driver license to drive because I never pass my drivers test didn’t do a good on my drivers ed class because I’m struggling with stress and anxiety, and I have autism
Thank you for showing that these homeless people are sweet human beings and not just a word or a problem to be solved. Thank you for loving on them some much 😊
I am Japanese. I respect your activities. I live in Tokyo and I did not know about these homeless people. Thank you for sharing. I want to support your activities.
They may look poor and homeless, but they are rich and luxury of dignity, Self-reliance, honestly, pure heart, high self-esteem and full of life experiences. It's heartbreaking to see an elderly person living in a very dangerous place that doesn't know when it's going to fall and be devastated by a storm. It is hoped that there will be a movement of charities build a home or a free tiny house for them...
Japan's welfare system helps these people off the streets and they will be supported to find apartments and offered monthly living fee by governments. All they have to do is to turn up at town/city offices and ask for help. If they don't have an address, they will help to get one. There are rules and procedures to follow, but that's it. It is very very tolerant. Homeless people wouldn't be arrested or thrown away on the streets. when they turn up , or carriedt o hospitals. Therea re hospitals to give medical treatments to these homeless people without any payment. At any office, there are staffs to help them to receive these supports. I hope you and they(homeless people) will find out facts and ways to live better/healthier, sanitary safer lives.
@@graceIAMok I’m surprised that the people that are trying to help them don’t know this. it sounds like a viable option that’s available now where people wouldn’t have to wait for this fundraiser to collect enough money to build something for them.
In 1999, I was a French expat in Ireland and was homeless for 2.5 months. I slept outside four a couple of nights. The rest of the time, I was staying in a guest house. But finding food was the biggest problem. I would go hungry on most days. Nobody would have thought I was homeless. A few years ago, I started talking about it, here in the US, where I now live, but soon realized how people would look down on me. I never thought telling my survival story would have such a negative effect bevause here, people associate homelessness with crime, drugs and prostitution. As a result, I don't talk about it anymore. But this video in Japan was very significant to me. Homelessness is always associated with danger. I was homeless 25 years ago, but I still pick up coins from the ground, today, in remembrance of those days.
We have a saying in Germany: Who does not honor the penny (Pfenning) is not worthy of the dollar (Thaler). Even though I was never even close to homelessness, I pick up small coins from the ground, too.
Don't let other people's ideas of what they think reality is to stop you. Tell your story because it will help others who need to get out of that life by bringing awareness to it.
Alyssa, thank you so much for everything you do for the homeless in Japan. Your video was awesome this time too! I'm really grateful that you let me share my story. Your help and kindness mean a lot to us. Arigatogozaimasu🙏🙌
Thank you for watching Robin! It would be awesome to do a video like this with you in Shinjuku. We know many homeless people there in need of help and may agree to an interview.
I am Japanese, living in Sendai City. I will not deny this video as this is true. We have homeless people too. However, our govt does not like to show this fact. Living cost in Japan is every expensive and many younger generations now are struggling to find descent jobs.
This is a huge problem here in the US as well. 2 generations ago a man could work full time and support a family, buy a house, car, etc. Now people (particularly in the west) are making six figures and splitting rent. Unreal.
Your government also hide the fact that Japan had colonized Indonesia in the most brutal ways. It took only 2 years, but the disasters you guys brought are out of mind.
That's what you called, media brainwashing. Don't always believe what you saw in the internet especially advertisements. Every country has its own secrets.
probably because they either do not have a child, or do not want to bother their child either because of poor financial or family conflict, and poor financial handling which the last elderly says in his story. I don't have full knowledge or experience of it but Japan places a strong emphasis on self-reliance, they would blame it on themselves if they found themself at the deepest point of their lives and it is shameful for them, and sometimes could not face their own family because of it. some organizations indeed help them from time to time, but some are just stubborn or some cannot access it for some complicated matter.
I didn't know this side of japan until now.There are so many Filipino working and living in Japan and all they say are the same, that its a beautiful country and lives there are easy. This is an eye opener. May the Universe return the kindness you give to these people! 🌌🙏❤️
The couple was so polite and respectful despite the obvious suffering they are going through. To all the homeless out there in Japan I pray that a change will happen one day that you no longer will be without the basic necessities that a human being should have aka clean food, water, shelter and clothing as well as medical care. 🙏🏻❤️
@@Ace-b9v What if it was your parents or you in the near future? Heartbreaking, they work their whole productive lives & end up in a wilderness hovel. This pisses me off to no end, that a gov (any gov) would let this happen to the people who built the country. Demand change for the better. If I was wealthy, I would put them in a home with gardens to grow in for life. Love the beings that isn't twisted & dangerous, sweet old souls with off the chart knowledge. What we have now is because of their lives work & toil.
These lives deserve honor. The elderly should not have to worry about basic food and shelter. These videos are VERY important for the world and the Japanese people to see.
JAPAN DON'T HIDES IT'S HOMELESS (RESEARCH FIRST)Japan has a budget for homeless People,some workers from the City Hall prefecture visit them.They attempts to give assistance like housing facilities , financial and jobs but they refuse.Because they want to live in nature.If you can understand Japanese ,it is all over on television news or TH-cam.They don't want to live on the system.
From 2:53 to 3:02, I love how polite you and your friend were when you two gave the gifts. You asked for their acceptance of the gift before handing it over is such a great gesture, as it shows that you treat the elders respectfully regarding their situation.
It surprises me that even the homeless japanese are VERY polite and thankful people. It's just engraved in their culture. I love it. Thank you for the video!
You don’t understand the culture. Just like how you see Japan is not the real one, it’s the same with the culture . It’s not because they are nice, it’s because they don’t want to be seen as rude and causing trouble and risk being outcast. There is a Japanese person who talks about the culture in Japan and he explained why Japanese are polite. They are always worried about upsetting others . because of how Japan is always facing natural disasters, if you are outcast and need help, no one would accept you in their group and you would be on your own.Japan is a collective society. That’s why they all act the same pretty much.
@@mullerthomas8430 I'd say the elder population can't be covered and fully supported by tax paid by younger generations. Not many young people want to have family.
This should come as no surprise. After work, Japanese men flock to tiny bars and restaurants where they spent the entire evening --- and lots of their paycheck, eating sushi, sashimi, whale, porpoise, and drinking _sake_
earth is our home, there is no other. houselessness, but not homelessness. all bearing the Image, that created them. they are, beyond value; beyond things. all is illusory. peace be, unto you. Shalom
Had the Reagan and following Administrations not closed the Mental Institutions and shredded the Safety Nets in Many States, a majority of the "American" Homeless would not be living in the situation you decry.
@@anitralarae_mahjacat shhh nobody cares about those little factoids you brought up. American homeless are icky, periodt. Japanese homeless are gurretto, especially because I don't actually see or interact with them so I can create whatever fantasy I like with a cherrypicked video as my backing.
Wow, good job! I was homeless when I was 20 years old for three years. There is a documentary called "Street Wise" about homeless kids in Seattle Washington. They started making that film a year or two after I decided to change my life, but I knew people in that film. I was not into drugs or alcohol so, I had my wits about me enough to say, Well, I am here on the streets, why not turn this into a big urban plunge and become part of the solution by joining homeless outreach programs. I worked in an international missionary program with trucks and ships to move goods around the world to assist with world poverty. I learned by experience how poverty is often caused by a loss of dignity. Despair enters along with apathy which drags people into poverty. It's often the case that the loss of dignity leads to drug addiction as well. But, those are only two of the many reasons for poverty, war, crime, political oppression, etc...there are many reasons. I was revitalized by the humanitarian work I was doing. I ended up with a great career in transportation and live in a great house overlooking Puget Sound now. Keep up the good work!👍
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT CHOICE YOU WILL EVER MAKE AND THE TIME TO DECIDE IS NOW ⏲️ ⏳️ 🕐 I choose to turn to Jesus Christ realizing I am a sinner in need of a Savior. I believe Jesus died for my sins and resurrected in 3ndays. Therefore some day after my life, I'll live with Him in heaven. OR.... I reject Jesus as my Savior for my sins and spend eternity in hell 🔥 📛 with nonbelievers and the devil, satan.
@@OIllllOIt is but all have sinned and fallen short to the glory of God. Heaven is filled with people that lived for Christ. Salvation is free and God is neat 😋
Don’t know, obviously, when you filmed this, but if you do go back to the couple who has a garden growing, maybe bring them gardening tools. As a gardener, I find the right tool makes gardening so much less labor intense.
I feel that is good to arise The fact of more material But my own biased cunning Opinion is they are more than Ok to use their hands for tools Yes I mean you do make complete sense but they Are sweet as !
As a Japanese currently living in Japan, I did not know about this. I suppose it’s hidden from us citizens as well. Thank you so much for sharing, it means so much for us to have opportunities and sources to know about it.
Thats how yall operate. I wish i have the drive to film whatever i see. Ive seen the most horrible situations in asia. They say we africans are poor but the things ive seen in japan and Korea are alarming. However the skyscrapers are doing a good job to cover up the reality.
Maybe they have no comfortable house to live in but when it comes to food they are self sufficient as a matter of fact they planted it in their backyard..
You as Japanese people must learn to be sensitive to social conditions. I see that many Japanese people seem indifferent and ignorant about responding to social issues. Too focused on work or in their own world so that many poor people are not helped. Now start being critical of social and political issues in your government, don't be lulled into pretending your country is perfect
@@lazyscorpion3889Bro whenever I come back from abroad to Africa I appreciate Africa more..The world is a mess..Even the glamorous Dubai has a disgusting side they never show…
i'm from the Philippines, and believe me, we have a lot of homeless people too, you can see them everywhere. However, when I visited Japan back in 2019 and I walked under a pedestrian crossing in Shibuya and I was shocked that there are homeless people too in Japan which is quite unusual for me as a person coming from a developing country.
My wife and I were just talking about this today while walking around Shinjuku, that compared to the Philippines, Japan "seems" to have solved poverty. This documentary is an eye opener that disparities still exist in the wealthiest of nations. Grabe goosebumps because I didn't search for this. I hope their government does better than ours back home.
It is the very very very first time that I don't get angry and annoyed by the ads on TH-cam. Thank so much for using money you raised for the benefit of homeless elder people ❤😢
i live in japan and work with japanese people. the homeless people interviewed here are just as well-spoken and dignified as my japanese colleagues. and the fact that they are not alcohol or substance abusers makes me respect them. i hope their situation gets drastically better!
@@blackqueen164 It is literally what the video maker said, not even the homeless people lol. She said "yoroshiku onegaishimasu". This is literally said every single day between almost every single person in the country, probably like 3-4 times a day. I think you, ic8455, and BadMrFrosty did not catch what exactly what was being translated there lol.
Many of these people look so nice. No drug addiction or substance abuse, but people who have their dignity. Even some of their space is clean and organized! The lack of social organizations/companies to get people out of this is heartbreaking. If only we can match empty houses with these people!
Im a Filipino and I take care of my bed ridden partner,I do tears because those lovely old couple are still strong and healthy.Thank you maam and Sir fir helping them and they are happy and keep smiling while accepting those in kind things and food God Bless and More Power❤️🙏

I love how clean, organized and positive thinking they are. Instead of drugs or alcohol they do gardening. So cool! Traditional Japanese culture is very impressive 👍
@@Madamoizillion I referred to their gardening... I think it is cool to garden instead of just looking for food donations. Amazing how you could find a way to frown at that...
yes better than other people in the world which they are poor and yet go to drugs and alcohol..this people are very discipline and perseverance is at highest level.
AIYSSA uses very polite language. Even homeless people are spoken to in a respectful manner. I am using a translation app. I apologise if my English is incorrect.
One very beautiful thing i can deduce from this video is that it seems there is a lot of respectful gestures and courtesy woven into the Japanese culture.
Me too, in south Korea always criticizing japan i always want Korea exposed too. Many foreigners dont see these things. I met poor people in south Korea that me as an africa have never seen in my country. They were all above 60! I have not recovered from that. In africa we dont have homeless elderly people but they keep portraying africa to be the worst place!
@@lazyscorpion3889they are considered the forgotten generation as they were in between the war and economic boom. I'm so thankful my mom immigrated to the United States or she likely would have been laboring away on the street in near poverty
You don't understand the essence of these problems. In short, it is the root of a very tolerant administration towards Chinese immigrants and a strict administration towards Japanese people.
I have been to Japan many times my wife is from Osaka, I have seen homeless people living beside the river. When you pointed this out right away all I said was yes. I asked my wife about the homeless many of the people work to survive and are not beggars very proud people. I have been in different countries and have found people who have nothing will give you their all, I'm more happy talking to someone who has nothing than someone with everything.
@@orphaxx1254 Maybe both you and david wang are speaking some truths. Both perspectives could be true in different contexts, you know. There's no "one size fits all"...
@serriajohn Governments do not have money because governments do not produce anything, they simply manage the money they steal from society. Anyway 3.000 homeless in a country with 120 millions looks awesome. Tell me, your country did better?
It is bloody expensive to repair and maintain a house in Japan. Even if they give it free, it cost a lot to repair. How can these people own such houses?
@@OrientalPearl compared to where they live now and how they must struggle during cold weather and winters a house in almost any condition might be better and warmer
Homeless people live such a humble and dignified life in Japan. They maximise every opportunity and keep their humble abodes, and the surrounding area clean and tidy. Thank you.
Another in the fine documentary style videos that you have made bring the plight of Japan's homeless to light. I have followed your lead and donated to this cause. I am always impressed by the dignity and strength that the individuals you highlight display. I know I could not cope as well as many of these individuals have and do in their challenging situations. I like all your content, you continue to inspire in so many ways.
It never ceases to amaze me - the respect, kindness and humbleness of the Japanese people, particularly the homeless that you've just shown us in your video. I was in Japan about 4 years ago and in Tokyo. It humbles me to know that people like those in your video were probably right under my feet. Best wishes to one and all.
you know it's quite common to our wellfare societies ! once you're "old" you become " nobody" even a mids families, grandchildren remember you short before Christmas to get their cash envelop, and if there isn't any, they forget all about you -
This is so sad! I come from Africa and I never thought that there are homeless people in Japan! I have seen many homeless in the UK where I currently live but never thought there could be homeless in Japan. Japanese government please help your people! My heart goes out for the elderly! How do they cope in the winter😢? God help these people! They are your creation.
When I looked up the number of homeless people, there were 3,448 in Japan, 90,063 in the UK, 142,900 in France, 653,100 in the US, and 860,000 in Germany. And I wanted them to save the homeless in their own countries, not in Japan.
So ignorant to think homelessness didn't exist there it existed every where even in France. Shiiiit even in Monaco of all places ..maybe not alot but there are there too ..being hidden by prince Albert's regime
GOD DOES NOT NEED YOU telling Him the Creator of the universe what to do. He said long ago blessed is the country who's God is the Lord, the U.S. has been extremely blessed because at one time we were a Christian nation. Japan needs to turn to Jesus, The Son.
As a chinese proverb Say " Big Trees have Big Decay Branches and Big Develop Society have big Homeless problem " . It is good for you guys to help this people. Keep it up.
the way Japanese people are being polite and didn't hesitate to accept I just realized I want to live in Japan whether it's poor or rich that I can live in more peaceful
🟫THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the Salvation of the last day that Christ brought in the second and last incarnation of the His new and holy name" (What God hates most of all are the superstitious practices of people, but many people still cannot let go of them, thinking that this superstitious practice is ordained by God, and even now have not completely let go of those. Even the day of worship (including the Sabbath, which the religious world observes) is hated by God; and even more God hates and rejects social relations and worldly relations between man and man. God did not even order the spring Festival and Christmas day that everyone knows, especially the toys and decorations such as pairs, fireworks, lanterns, Holy Communion, Christmas gifts and parties --Christmas party----aren't they idols in people's mindsthis? The breaking of bread on the Sabbath, Wine, and Fine Linen are even more idolatrous. All the various traditional Festival days known in China, such as "Dragon Heads--raising Day," the "Dragon Boat Festival," "Mid--Autumn Festival," the "Laba Festival," and New Year's day, and Holidays in the religious world such as Easter, day ofBaptism, and Christmas day, all of these arbitrary Feasts have been organized and passed down from ancient times to the present day by many people. The more the Satans congregate in a location, and the more obsolete and backward that place is, the worse the feudal customs become. Many of the Festivals in the religious world seem to show great originality and seem to create a bridge to God's work, but they are not--they are seen as Satan's bonds that bind people so that they cannot recognize the God--all that iscunning trick of Satan. Actually the work that God is doing today is mainly to deal with and eradicate the superstitious nature of people and completely change their mental outlook.) Almighty God said What GOD hates most of all superstitious practices of people, but many people still cannot let go of them, thinking that this superstitious practice is ordained by God, and even now have not completely let go of those. THINGS LIKE YOUTHS ARRANGE for WEDDING FESTIVALS and DOWRIES for BRIDES; MONEY GIFTS, FEASTS, and similar methods of CELEBRATION of BAD OCCASIONS; ancient INHERITED FORMULAS; ALL the NON--SIGNIFICANT SUPERSTITIONSwork PERFORMED in the NAME of the DEAD and the SEMONY of BURYING them, GOD HATES all of this MORE. 😪 Even the DAY of WORSHIP (including the Sabbath, which the religious world observes) is HATES by GOD; and even MORE GOD HATES and REJECTS SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS and WORLDLY RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MEN and MEN. 😪 GOD DIDN'T ORDER even the SPRING FESTIVAL and CHRISTMAS DAY that everyone knows, especially the toys and decorations like pares--pares, firecrackers, lanterns, Holy Communion, Christmas gifts and party---Christmas party------- AREN'T those IDOLS in PEOPLE'S MIND this? 😪 BREAKING---PIECES of BREAD on the SABBATH DAY, WINE, and FINE LINEN is even MORE truly an IDOL. All the different TRADITIONAL FESTIVALS known in CHINA, such as "Dragon Heads---raising Day," the "Dragon Boat Festival," "Mid--Autumn Festival," the "Laba Festival," and NEW YEAR'S DAY, and RELIGIOUS WORLD HOLIDAYS such as CHRISTMAS OF LIFE, DAY OFBAPTISM, and CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL these arbitrary feasts have been organized and handed down from ancient times to the present day by many people. ☀️ HUMANITY'S RICH IMAGINATION and CREATIVE AWARENESS CAUSED them to be PASSED to the DAY. 😪 The MORE the DEVILS GATHER a LOCATION, and the MORE OLD and BACKWARD that PLACE is, the WORSE the FEUDAL CUSTOMS. These things bind people so tightly, that they cannot move. Many of the FESTIVALS in the RELIGION WORLD seem to SHOW great originality and seem to create a BRIDGE to God's work, but they are NOT in FACT----SEEN BANDS of SATAN that BIND them MAN to NOT KNOW GOD----ALL of thatis a cunning DECEPTION of SATAN. 🛑😪 In fact, when a phase of God's work is over, He destroys the tools and styles of that time, leaving no traces. However, "faithful believers" continue to worship tangible material things; WHILE they SET ASIDE what GOD has in their MINDS, NOT STUDYING it ANYMORE, SEEMING to be FULL of LOVE to GOD BUT the REALITY is HE is LONG-TERM when PUSHED OUT of the HOUSE and PLACED SATAN on the TABLE to WORSHIP. 😪 🛑 The IMAGES of JESUS, the CROSS, MARY, the BAPTISM of JESUS and the LAST SUPPER----ALL of these are respected by the PEOPLE as the LORD of HEAVEN, while OVER--OVER AND AGAIN SHOUTING "LORD, FATHER in heaven." Isn't ALL of this a joke? 🛑 Until now, GOD HATES many similar sayings and practices inherited by mankind, THOSE SERIOUSLY BLOCK THE WAY TO GOD and, moreover, become a great hindrance to mankind's entrance. in addition to the EXTENT of SATAN'S CORRUPTION of HUMANITY, PEOPLE'S WILLS are COMPLETELY FILLED with THINGS LIKE Witness Lee's LAW, Lawrence's experiences, Watchman Née's surveys and Paul's work. There is really no way for God to work with people because within them there is too much selfishness, laws, rules, rules and systems, and the like, these things, in addition to the last of the feudal people which superstitions, have captured and devoured thehumanity. What people think is an exciting movie that tells a "fairy tale" that is colorful, with incredible creatures riding on clouds, so creative that people are amazed, leaving them dumb and unable to speak. ACTUALLY, the WORK that GOD is DOING NOW is MAINLY to ATTACK and DELETE the SAD CHARACTERISTICS of PEOPLE and to COMPLETELY CHANGE their MENTAL OUTLINES. 🙏 God's work has not lasted until now because of the heritage passed down by mankind through the generations; it is a work He personally initiates and completes, not necessarily succeeding the legacy of a particular great spiritual person, or inheriting anywork of a representative nature done by God in some other age People don't need to worry about any of these things. God now has a different style of speech and action, so why do people confuse themselves? If people walk today's path contained in the Current while continuing the legacy of their "ancestors," they will never reach their destination. GOD FEELS A STRONG DISGUST for this particular class of MAN'S BEHAVIOR, just as He HATES the YEARS, MONTHS and DAYS of MAN'S WORLD. 🙏 From "The WORD Appears in the Flesh". holy book Fulfilled in "In the beginning He was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). ... and (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His garment was stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God" (Rev. 19:13). 📩 All who have "ears to listen" are led to what the Spirit of God is saying in His lowered and built kingdom/Church engraved with His new name, His totality, the ownership of this disposition, "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD "💐 fulfillment from what was said He to Peter 2,000 years ago recorded in (Matthew 16:18-19). His Coming is the fulfillment of all that was prophesied in the great book of Revelation, so the last "Salvation" He brought the whole truth, the way for eternal life. So the "victorious" ones who will receive them are the wise "virgins" because as recorded in the prophecy of His return no one knows it except the one who will receive it! So "come" and come to His kingdom/church standing in the holy place in the air/TH-cam! This is also a fulfillment from the book of (Isaiah 2:2/9:6) which He first fulfilled in His first incarnation. 📥 "They say with a loud voice, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the Throne!" (Rev. 7:10). ... and (Isaiah 2: 2 / 9:6) "On the Last Day, the mountain on which Jehovah's temple stands will stand out above all the mountains. All nations will flock there. " . "For a baby boy is born to us. The rule will be given to him; and he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." 📧
I see many parallels between these elder people and elder people living in derelict brick houses in rural areas in my country in eastern europe from very little pension, and have to live almost a self-sustaining life. These people have great wisdom, so don't forget to say hi once you meet them!
Japan has a system to house and support homeless people. Outside of major metropolitan areas, public apartments are often less than half full and vacant, and those on welfare receive financial support and free medical care. Many homeless people in Japan stubbornly refuse support of their own volition. The city where I live has a population of 800,000, and there are about five homeless people living near the station and the police box. They are constantly in contact with the city and police officers, and although the number is decreasing, some of them refuse to move. After all, there are always clean toilets available.
Thank you for caring about those kind people. The difference is night and day between homeless here in America and there in Japan. They are so gracious and graceful where as many over here are violent, demanding and ungrateful and entitled.
Many homeless people here in the USA are mentally unwell. I imagine part of the problem here is that mentally ill people here in the USA aren't put in an institution or supported in some way, they end up on the street and in urban areas are apparent to all. I imagine other homeless people lose their mental balance, even if they don't suffer from some sort of inherent mental illness, because life on the street is so difficult. A lot more become homeless because they become drug addicts and spiral down and lose everything. To me, the squalid state of the homeless in US, and the sheer number of homeless people here, is a reflection of a larger illness in the state of our national 'culture' for lack of a better term. If the United States was a person it would be diagnosed as a mentally unwell person.
Mental health is strongly correlated with social connections and tolerable conditions for living. When people feel hopeless, powerless, and trapped -- as many do in our dystopian late-stage capitalism with a lot of toxicity, trauma, and hostility -- they put their mind and energy toward escaping those conditions. Some drink alcohol or take other drugs to get away. Some isolate and lose themselves in videos, games, books, or other media. Some fall into delusional states, either shared and supported with a like-minded group, or singular and isolating again. Some just stuff their feelings down for years, maybe decades, until their body hits a hard limit and they have a new diagnosis or three. When you see people struggling to keep going from day to day, think about the pain they carry, the trauma that set them on the path. Think about how improbable it is that they have the capacity to worry about offending you with their presence, their appearance, their odor, their possessions, their struggles. Maybe let go of some of that urge to judge, both them and yourself. ❤
@@blebhan8213 No. You are wrong. Nomads take their gers (home) and move for sustain the livestock in most nutritious areas. It does not mean “homeless” and poor. I think they are richest. But in Mongolian homeless people are more concentrated in urban central area.
There are plenty of homeless ppl in Japan ! I used to live In Kansai, there are lots of … mostly you can see them in Tennoji / Kyobashi. Also in Umeda, Shinsaibashi, and Namba …. they are hanging around. But the thing is like other countries they never begging money, food or anything. Some reason they are homeless. When I was there a few times I tried to give some homeless people food, beer, and some money they were not accepted. And asked me to leave them alone!
I have too admit Alyssa..You made me cry how you try to help where and when you can. You are AWESOME and have my TOTAL respect. Thank you for being the loving heart you are.
On a recent visit to Tokyo I saw homeless people in Shinjuku and these young men and girls near Kabuchiko tower that I did not realize were homeless. some of them i think did have homes but for some reason they would not go home. I did not know until watching these videos that there were elderly homeless living near a river in Japan , This is heartbreaking to watch. I am 70 and I cannot imagine living like this. Where I come from, Albuquerque New Mexico U.S.A. there are many homeless people who are mentally ill or on drugs, who are constantly in the streets begging for money. Many of these people cannot work due to drug addiction or mental illness and have lost their personal dignity. But in Japan the homeless are at least respectful and polite and not on drugs that can make them dangerous to approach.. I did not see any homeless people begging for money in the streets. As a result these people at least retain their personal dignity and self respect and deserve to be helped even more for that in my opinion. This just cannot continue. This young lady is doing her part to help these people, If more people like her would be doing this perhaps all the homeless in Japan would be reached some day and taken off the streets. I would like to contribute to your project of building homeless shelter in Shinjuku as it is really needed there. This is kind of a dangerous area in Japan at night. Thank you so much for what you are doing> making the world aware of this problem and helping them with food and supplies at the same time. I wish I could be there helping you. But for now all I can do is pray for these people and pray that you are successful in buying that homeless shelter. May God Bless you sweet lady for what you are doing. Makes me feel proud that one of our own is out there in the world making a difference.
There are dignified and ‘invisible’ homeless here in America also. I am one of them. A nurse of 15yrs. We live in our cars. In vans and trucks. At Walmarts and truck stops. We just look like everyone else. Trunk full of pillows and blankets…I see them now that I am them.
the WHOLE world can learn so much from japan. Their culture is unmatched, its a beautiful thing to see such thankful people who are in such dire straits.
It's a beautiful thing to see people struggling to survive in one of the most wealthiest societies in the world?! There is so much you need to learn from this video.
What would actually be beautiful would be a society where these people were given the dignity of safe housing. THAT would be something all countries could strive for.
japan is a house of cards. theyre all extremely depressed, overworked and deeply unhappy. (and those who are not are just masking their emotions or convincing themselves that theyre fine). human beings are not worker ants. we have not evolved to dedicate 70% of our waking hours to work. the cracks in the japanese way of life have been showing for a while and the bubble is about to burst. thats why the birth rate is plummeting and they were forced to open their doors to undesirables from countries that have no business being anywhere near any civilized societies (who btw, have immediately proceeded to create "no go zones" all over japan, where a native person wouldnt dare to venture anywhere near). theres only so far you can push an engine to operate at maximum capacity before it overheats
🟫THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the Salvation of the last day that Christ brought in the second and last incarnation of the His new and holy name" (What God hates most of all are the superstitious practices of people, but many people still cannot let go of them, thinking that this superstitious practice is ordained by God, and even now have not completely let go of those. Even the day of worship (including the Sabbath, which the religious world observes) is hated by God; and even more God hates and rejects social relations and worldly relations between man and man. God did not even order the spring Festival and Christmas day that everyone knows, especially the toys and decorations such as pairs, fireworks, lanterns, Holy Communion, Christmas gifts and parties --Christmas party----aren't they idols in people's mindsthis? The breaking of bread on the Sabbath, Wine, and Fine Linen are even more idolatrous. All the various traditional Festival days known in China, such as "Dragon Heads--raising Day," the "Dragon Boat Festival," "Mid--Autumn Festival," the "Laba Festival," and New Year's day, and Holidays in the religious world such as Easter, day ofBaptism, and Christmas day, all of these arbitrary Feasts have been organized and passed down from ancient times to the present day by many people. The more the Satans congregate in a location, and the more obsolete and backward that place is, the worse the feudal customs become. Many of the Festivals in the religious world seem to show great originality and seem to create a bridge to God's work, but they are not--they are seen as Satan's bonds that bind people so that they cannot recognize the God--all that iscunning trick of Satan. Actually the work that God is doing today is mainly to deal with and eradicate the superstitious nature of people and completely change their mental outlook.) Almighty God said What GOD hates most of all superstitious practices of people, but many people still cannot let go of them, thinking that this superstitious practice is ordained by God, and even now have not completely let go of those. THINGS LIKE YOUTHS ARRANGE for WEDDING FESTIVALS and DOWRIES for BRIDES; MONEY GIFTS, FEASTS, and similar methods of CELEBRATION of BAD OCCASIONS; ancient INHERITED FORMULAS; ALL the NON--SIGNIFICANT SUPERSTITIONSwork PERFORMED in the NAME of the DEAD and the SEMONY of BURYING them, GOD HATES all of this MORE. 😪 Even the DAY of WORSHIP (including the Sabbath, which the religious world observes) is HATES by GOD; and even MORE GOD HATES and REJECTS SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS and WORLDLY RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MEN and MEN. 😪 GOD DIDN'T ORDER even the SPRING FESTIVAL and CHRISTMAS DAY that everyone knows, especially the toys and decorations like pares--pares, firecrackers, lanterns, Holy Communion, Christmas gifts and party---Christmas party------- AREN'T those IDOLS in PEOPLE'S MIND this? 😪 BREAKING---PIECES of BREAD on the SABBATH DAY, WINE, and FINE LINEN is even MORE truly an IDOL. All the different TRADITIONAL FESTIVALS known in CHINA, such as "Dragon Heads---raising Day," the "Dragon Boat Festival," "Mid--Autumn Festival," the "Laba Festival," and NEW YEAR'S DAY, and RELIGIOUS WORLD HOLIDAYS such as CHRISTMAS OF LIFE, DAY OFBAPTISM, and CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL these arbitrary feasts have been organized and handed down from ancient times to the present day by many people. ☀️ HUMANITY'S RICH IMAGINATION and CREATIVE AWARENESS CAUSED them to be PASSED to the DAY. 😪 The MORE the DEVILS GATHER a LOCATION, and the MORE OLD and BACKWARD that PLACE is, the WORSE the FEUDAL CUSTOMS. These things bind people so tightly, that they cannot move. Many of the FESTIVALS in the RELIGION WORLD seem to SHOW great originality and seem to create a BRIDGE to God's work, but they are NOT in FACT----SEEN BANDS of SATAN that BIND them MAN to NOT KNOW GOD----ALL of thatis a cunning DECEPTION of SATAN. 🛑😪 In fact, when a phase of God's work is over, He destroys the tools and styles of that time, leaving no traces. However, "faithful believers" continue to worship tangible material things; WHILE they SET ASIDE what GOD has in their MINDS, NOT STUDYING it ANYMORE, SEEMING to be FULL of LOVE to GOD BUT the REALITY is HE is LONG-TERM when PUSHED OUT of the HOUSE and PLACED SATAN on the TABLE to WORSHIP. 😪 🛑 The IMAGES of JESUS, the CROSS, MARY, the BAPTISM of JESUS and the LAST SUPPER----ALL of these are respected by the PEOPLE as the LORD of HEAVEN, while OVER--OVER AND AGAIN SHOUTING "LORD, FATHER in heaven." Isn't ALL of this a joke? 🛑 Until now, GOD HATES many similar sayings and practices inherited by mankind, THOSE SERIOUSLY BLOCK THE WAY TO GOD and, moreover, become a great hindrance to mankind's entrance. in addition to the EXTENT of SATAN'S CORRUPTION of HUMANITY, PEOPLE'S WILLS are COMPLETELY FILLED with THINGS LIKE Witness Lee's LAW, Lawrence's experiences, Watchman Née's surveys and Paul's work. There is really no way for God to work with people because within them there is too much selfishness, laws, rules, rules and systems, and the like, these things, in addition to the last of the feudal people which superstitions, have captured and devoured thehumanity. What people think is an exciting movie that tells a "fairy tale" that is colorful, with incredible creatures riding on clouds, so creative that people are amazed, leaving them dumb and unable to speak. ACTUALLY, the WORK that GOD is DOING NOW is MAINLY to ATTACK and DELETE the SAD CHARACTERISTICS of PEOPLE and to COMPLETELY CHANGE their MENTAL OUTLINES. 🙏 God's work has not lasted until now because of the heritage passed down by mankind through the generations; it is a work He personally initiates and completes, not necessarily succeeding the legacy of a particular great spiritual person, or inheriting anywork of a representative nature done by God in some other age People don't need to worry about any of these things. God now has a different style of speech and action, so why do people confuse themselves? If people walk today's path contained in the Current while continuing the legacy of their "ancestors," they will never reach their destination. GOD FEELS A STRONG DISGUST for this particular class of MAN'S BEHAVIOR, just as He HATES the YEARS, MONTHS and DAYS of MAN'S WORLD. 🙏 From "The WORD Appears in the Flesh". holy book Fulfilled in "In the beginning He was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). ... and (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His garment was stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God" (Rev. 19:13). 📩 All who have "ears to listen" are led to what the Spirit of God is saying in His lowered and built kingdom/Church engraved with His new name, His totality, the ownership of this disposition, "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD "💐 fulfillment from what was said He to Peter 2,000 years ago recorded in (Matthew 16:18-19). His Coming is the fulfillment of all that was prophesied in the great book of Revelation, so the last "Salvation" He brought the whole truth, the way for eternal life. So the "victorious" ones who will receive them are the wise "virgins" because as recorded in the prophecy of His return no one knows it except the one who will receive it! So "come" and come to His kingdom/church standing in the holy place in the air/TH-cam! This is also a fulfillment from the book of (Isaiah 2:2/9:6) which He first fulfilled in His first incarnation. 📥 "They say with a loud voice, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the Throne!" (Rev. 7:10). ... and (Isaiah 2: 2 / 9:6) "On the Last Day, the mountain on which Jehovah's temple stands will stand out above all the mountains. All nations will flock there. " . "For a baby boy is born to us. The rule will be given to him; and he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." 📧
Yeah not, Japan is just another society screwed over by traditions that limit freedom and growth. Don’t let Japan’s polite exterior fool you. I lived there. Firstly, they’re highly bigoted & racist. They discard & ignore whole sections of their society & more. You can learn what not to do with Japan. Their society has no life, no fullness do it. They lower their heads & claim humility but it’s all for show. Inwardly they believe themselves to be superior to all others. The biblical myth has a saying, by their fruit you shall know them. We saw Japan’s fruit during WW2. A people so ruthless & brutal they were hated throughout Asia. They allied with the Nazis. Can a culture change? Sure but if it’s only the surface, the underbelly still lives. America’s underbelly is racism,bigotry & greed. The Japanese underbelly is racism,bigotry & greed. Japan just hides it all with polite interactions & a cultural passiveness that disguises the screw job & hatred.
@davidwang4364 dude literally every nation has homeless. Only idiots would beleive otherwise regardless of the image portrayed by a nations government.
So heartwarming that still there's goodhearted people are giving help for helpless people like them,, keep up your good deeds trust me God will repay you
Even the wealthiest and most affluent countries in the world have their underclass. And Japan is no exception. Only that in dignity and respect they must live.
I have been watching many, many videos of north Vietnamese young girls with babies, accepting government deals to build bamboo houses. The men hide and refuse to help if not married. I have watched so many videos that I could most likely build one of these houses myself with some help.. These girls have to not only build their house, but raise their babies tied to their backs, while planting gardens to sell their produce for food. Many have no diapers and have to hold their babies over a creek to pee or poop, bending down to the water to wash their babies, while they do everything else. I am eighty and try to do everything myself, but I own a house and receive some government help for my age with utility bills. That would be great for elderly people, to find some youngsters to put up housing for them. But government help to provide utilities and enough for basic food is still NEEDED. Our minds are still so good and wise. It is a shame to neglect people who still have so much to offer.
i agree i guess i can compare it to the rest of the world i mean their homeless here in the videos seems like a province from other countries like they be smart for planting foods meanwhile homeless country from other countries are violent and full of trash and addicts aka squatter areas
@@kaidanalenko5222first of all America and Japan are different they have a different quality of life there compared to here the homeless here usually do the drugs because they feel they have no other way to cope they do it because they need support but there are lack of things to help and the things that can come at some price those homeless shelters you know of are overcrowded and the streets are cold you could also get attacked by another homeless person it's horrible and having to be like that infront of people who pass the street not acknowledging them it's painful and it hurts the reason they turn to alcohol or drugs is to cope so they can feel Okay so they can feel warm to feel some solace when all alone your lack of empathy and understanding of this just shows your lack of morality for homeless people
Di Jepang walaupun homeless,tp hidup bersih teratur,ada air sungai tidak dikotori dgn sampah2.udara segar di desa,BS menanam ,pelihara hewan utk makanan manusia.bagus sekali kebiasaan mereka menjaga kebersihan lingkungan.👍
It is never the race. It is the attitude. Let us not be racists (even in a good way). It will only be a matter of time, it can be weaponized against others.
I was just in Japan. I can’t prove they were homeless, but I saw one elderly woman sleeping on cardboard box in tourist area dontonbori Osaka, one older man begging outside street mall Kobe, two elderly sleeping on cardboard two blocks from Shibuya scramble crossing. I didn’t see any of this in 2019. Sadness for them. Thx for this video.
Meanwhile, there are so many akiya sitting empty for decades. The world is upside-down. You and Tommy are just so admirable to get the word out. Grass roots action is the best.
The situation with akiya is complicated by inheritance tax from their sale. It was not the intention to give them away but they could be rented cheaply to charitable organisations to help these people. Win/ win as far as I can see.
To be honest, I'd rather live with these old people than the richer side of life. Full of respect, values and most important of all, they're full of love ❤❤❤
It’s amazing what you’re doing for these lovely people who’ve been met with such misfortune. It would be great if the government, and perhaps the rest of Japan, got involved to solve this homelessness crisis in the country. It can happen to any one of us and is heartbreaking to think that a lot of people don’t even think to contribute in any shape or form. Good to see you doing your bit as well as raising awareness along the way. Massive respect.
Nicely put together video as usual 💯 As someone who works with the homeless regularly I find this especially an interesting topic. Keep up the good work 💯
What a good video........I love Japan and many things Japanese, architecture, customs, food and history. Even in poverty they are an appealing people with there politeness and manners intact. Thank you so much.
Everywhere and anywhere in the world there is homeless. Regardless of your country is the richest. D they have different story why become homeless. Its hard to point it out why and what happend but reality it is. Sad but truth.
There are homeless literally everywhere around the world, some more obvious than others, no culture, city, etc., is immune to homelessness - Many have tried to solve homelessness but the reality is one of the human condition in today's world - Millions of dollars have been utilized and many millions have disappeared trying - It's a key issue/concern in today's society with no apparent solution, sad - But there are those that keep trying no matter the odds - Bless them all... \m/
I want to thank you for putting a spotlight on homeless people. You’ve done several videos on this subject, and I think it offers an important service to any society to bring attention to the worst off. You are on the good path ❤😊很感谢你
The first couple... Oh wow...Im so reduced to tears...but see the beautiful joy this couple have and still their respect.. Still have a lot of life and living life as best they can...
Japan has a pension system. And even foreigners who have been in Japan for a short time can receive welfare benefits. Why can't these people receive benefits?
I have high respect for Japanese people. Their dignity and honesty is intact. No matter how poor they are, yet they have pure hearts as clean as their way of life.
I saw in a video from a friend of mine who works in Japan, especially in rural areas/village, in rural areas/village of Japan there are many houses that are abandoned and deserted by the oner, you can rarely find people passing by, but in this video you can actually see Japanese people who don't have homes, just relying on tents and whatever equipment they have on the outskirts. Japanese cities, why don't they return to the villages to occupy houses and empty land there to use and cultivate? it's actually better than being poor.
Maybe due to high expenses on rent or housing fees and others expenses such as electric and water bill . They can't afford to pay due to their current financial state .
@@alvinduque8885My friend, who worked in Japan for the first time as a gardener in a Japanese village, got temporary accommodation in an empty, uninhabited house. He only brought enough money from my country. In fact, people in the village said that most of the people who wanted to live in the village were few, they were only interested in looking for work. in the city because of wages and irritability, as a result, many agricultural lands and houses are left empty for years, some even for decades, while many of those who work in the city live an inadequate life because of economic differences and high job competition, even though life in the village is better than In this city, residents who once lived and worked in the city said they chose to return to work in the village rather than the city. They had advised others but were not believed, They only see an extraordinary city, a place to make money and entertainment without thinking about the negative impacts they receive without thinking about it. thorough self-preparation in looking for work and living in the city
The ad revenue from the last video I will donate should reach $10,000 and the money you donated brings it up to a total of $15,000 that we raised! Let's keep going and buy that homeless center in Shinjuku! Give here now: www.jpkb.org/akiramenai

Good work Alyssa. For the cruel people in the comments: Poverty is a societal choice not a law of nature. There has been enough wealth and resources to give every human on the planet a dignified life for decades now. Those who make the cruel comments are the very people that cause others to live in poverty.
Don't tell anyone but I turned the volumn off and I let the ads play. I might even watch again and do that.
Hi oriental pearl love your videos it’s really sad people are homeless I keep seeing some places were homeless who don’t have a job because I don’t have a job or a driver license to drive because I never pass my drivers test didn’t do a good on my drivers ed class because I’m struggling with stress and anxiety, and I have autism
Thank you for showing that these homeless people are sweet human beings and not just a word or a problem to be solved.
Thank you for loving on them some much 😊
They are not drug addicts. They are just old, is heartbreaking
Because addicts don't need help do they? Check your privilege
@@Huckslay WHY Addicts people Start doing drugs without Anyone Help...❓❓❓

They may look poor and homeless, but they are rich and luxury of dignity, Self-reliance, honestly, pure heart, high self-esteem and full of life experiences.
It's heartbreaking to see an elderly person living in a very dangerous place that doesn't know when it's going to fall and be devastated by a storm.
It is hoped that there will be a movement of charities build a home or a free tiny house for them...
Free from gadget dependency... they are more living a peaceful life...

Japan's welfare system helps these people off the streets and they will be supported to find apartments and offered monthly living fee by governments. All they have to do is to turn up at town/city offices and ask for help. If they don't have an address, they will help to get one. There are rules and procedures to follow, but that's it. It is very very tolerant. Homeless people wouldn't be arrested or thrown away on the streets. when they turn up , or carriedt o hospitals. Therea re hospitals to give medical treatments to these homeless people without any payment. At any office, there are staffs to help them to receive these supports.
I hope you and they(homeless people) will find out facts and ways to live better/healthier, sanitary safer lives.
Definitely better off than homeless in usa and Canada. They seem to have more freedom in Japan
@@graceIAMok I’m surprised that the people that are trying to help them don’t know this. it sounds like a viable option that’s available now where people wouldn’t have to wait for this fundraiser to collect enough money to build something for them.
In 1999, I was a French expat in Ireland and was homeless for 2.5 months. I slept outside four a couple of nights. The rest of the time, I was staying in a guest house. But finding food was the biggest problem. I would go hungry on most days. Nobody would have thought I was homeless. A few years ago, I started talking about it, here in the US, where I now live, but soon realized how people would look down on me. I never thought telling my survival story would have such a negative effect bevause here, people associate homelessness with crime, drugs and prostitution. As a result, I don't talk about it anymore. But this video in Japan was very significant to me. Homelessness is always associated with danger. I was homeless 25 years ago, but I still pick up coins from the ground, today, in remembrance of those days.
❤
Ireland is getting worse with the current living crisis, you came at a better time here when accommodation im sure was available but now it’s scarce …
Thank you for sharing ur story ❤
We have a saying in Germany: Who does not honor the penny (Pfenning) is not worthy of the dollar (Thaler).
Even though I was never even close to homelessness, I pick up small coins from the ground, too.
Don't let other people's ideas of what they think reality is to stop you. Tell your story because it will help others who need to get out of that life by bringing awareness to it.
Alyssa, thank you so much for everything you do for the homeless in Japan. Your video was awesome this time too! I'm really grateful that you let me share my story. Your help and kindness mean a lot to us. Arigatogozaimasu🙏🙌

Yo man! Your TH-cam channel basically exploded after you featured in this channel!
I love NomadPush, i was thinking of you while watching this video.
I am Japanese, living in Sendai City. I will not deny this video as this is true. We have homeless people too. However, our govt does not like to show this fact. Living cost in Japan is every expensive and many younger generations now are struggling to find descent jobs.
This is a huge problem here in the US as well. 2 generations ago a man could work full time and support a family, buy a house, car, etc. Now people (particularly in the west) are making six figures and splitting rent. Unreal.
Your government also hide the fact that Japan had colonized Indonesia in the most brutal ways. It took only 2 years, but the disasters you guys brought are out of mind.
I think tht the same problem in our country too! so sad
NOW I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THAT WHAT NIGERIA IS GOING THROUGH AT THIS TIME ISNT PECULIAR TO JUST US AS A PEOPLE
But how elderly couple live in winter...there are no walls.
I thought Japan took care of their elderly. Why are these people living on the streets? These are the people we should be taking care of!
duh gvmt...at least yall gvmt let yall live...ours is encouraged to die...retire...or rely on something for assistance
Same
That's what you called, media brainwashing. Don't always believe what you saw in the internet especially advertisements. Every country has its own secrets.
Probably like here, some get help & ,some don't.
probably because they either do not have a child, or do not want to bother their child either because of poor financial or family conflict, and poor financial handling which the last elderly says in his story.
I don't have full knowledge or experience of it but Japan places a strong emphasis on self-reliance, they would blame it on themselves if they found themself at the deepest point of their lives and it is shameful for them, and sometimes could not face their own family because of it. some organizations indeed help them from time to time, but some are just stubborn or some cannot access it for some complicated matter.
I didn't know this side of japan until now.There are so many Filipino working and living in Japan and all they say are the same, that its a beautiful country and lives there are easy. This is an eye opener. May the Universe return the kindness you give to these people! 🌌🙏❤️
Well, the slums in Japan are 100 times better than over there. They keep it clean as opposed to using the entire area as their toilet.
これらのホームレス達は、全て真実です。日本は基本的に暮らしやすい国ですが、全ての人間が完璧に暮らしていけるわけではありません。
しかし、注意してほしい点があります。日本にはホームレスを支援する国家の法律があり、彼等は支援を受け入れる事が出来ます。彼等は支援金を受け取り、格安の住宅を借りられます。
職業の紹介もされます。
ホームレス達の中に、この暮らしを自由意志で選択している人達がいます。
理由は様々です。税金も支払いもない精神的な自由。本名を知られたくない。永遠に「名無し」で生きたい等です。
このような動画で、ホームレス達を支援するように寄付を呼びかけている事が多いです。
私は、その寄付が何処の誰の口座に入って、どのように使われるのか非常に興味があります。
多くの場合は、支援を受ける人達ではでは無く、支援活動をしている人達の生活か幸福の為に使わる事になるでしょう。
The couple was so polite and respectful despite the obvious suffering they are going through. To all the homeless out there in Japan I pray that a change will happen one day that you no longer will be without the basic necessities that a human being should have aka clean food, water, shelter and clothing as well as medical care. 🙏🏻❤️
Very sad to watch.
nobody has the right to somebody else's work and money.
This isn’t a dark side. It’s much brighter than other countries poverty
@@Ace-b9v What if it was your parents or you in the near future? Heartbreaking, they work their whole productive lives & end up in a wilderness hovel. This pisses me off to no end, that a gov (any gov) would let this happen to the people who built the country. Demand change for the better. If I was wealthy, I would put them in a home with gardens to grow in for life. Love the beings that isn't twisted & dangerous, sweet old souls with off the chart knowledge. What we have now is because of their lives work & toil.
why not help be part of that change instead of just praying for it? donate to charities.
These lives deserve honor. The elderly should not have to worry about basic food and shelter. These videos are VERY important for the world and the Japanese people to see.
Absolutely no reason why these fine people should be homeless…😢
I had no idea Japan had homeless people.
JAPAN DON'T HIDES IT'S HOMELESS (RESEARCH FIRST)Japan has a budget for homeless People,some workers from the City Hall prefecture visit them.They attempts to give assistance like housing facilities , financial and jobs but they refuse.Because they want to live in nature.If you can understand Japanese ,it is all over on television news or TH-cam.They don't want to live on the system.
@@Rob-z7kwelcome to the world. It’s sad, sickly, and stupid but we’re all here together
Japanese people anda gov not to likely talk about this. They protect "dark side" of japan. And always glorifies the good about japan.
So polite and you were respectful of their time and i loved seeing them accept the food and it was a nostalgic kind gesture
From 2:53 to 3:02, I love how polite you and your friend were when you two gave the gifts. You asked for their acceptance of the gift before handing it over is such a great gesture, as it shows that you treat the elders respectfully regarding their situation.
I agree.
Noticed that too so kind ❤
It surprises me that even the homeless japanese are VERY polite and thankful people. It's just engraved in their culture. I love it. Thank you for the video!
Agree. It’s part of culture.
You'd get much the same if you somehow got all the meth out of America's homeless... They're not inherently bad people.
You don’t understand the culture. Just like how you see Japan is not the real one, it’s the same with the culture . It’s not because they are nice, it’s because they don’t want to be seen as rude and causing trouble and risk being outcast. There is a Japanese person who talks about the culture in Japan and he explained why Japanese are polite. They are always worried about upsetting others . because of how Japan is always facing natural disasters, if you are outcast and need help, no one would accept you in their group and you would be on your own.Japan is a collective society. That’s why they all act the same pretty much.
LOOKS LIKE JAPAN GOVERNMENT DO NOT TREAT THEM WELL
@@mullerthomas8430 I'd say the elder population can't be covered and fully supported by tax paid by younger generations. Not many young people want to have family.

Oriental Pearl is one in a million. I've followed her for years.
Right?! Amazing!
I was born and raised in Japan, but I didn't know such a place existed!

This should come as no surprise. After work, Japanese men flock to tiny bars and restaurants where they spent the entire evening --- and lots of their paycheck, eating sushi, sashimi, whale, porpoise, and drinking _sake_
I wish all homeless are as respectful, clean, and full of dignity as the Japanese Homeless.
earth is our home, there is no other.

Wow, good job! I was homeless when I was 20 years old for three years. There is a documentary called "Street Wise" about homeless kids in Seattle Washington. They started making that film a year or two after I decided to change my life, but I knew people in that film. I was not into drugs or alcohol so, I had my wits about me enough to say, Well, I am here on the streets, why not turn this into a big urban plunge and become part of the solution by joining homeless outreach programs. I worked in an international missionary program with trucks and ships to move goods around the world to assist with world poverty. I learned by experience how poverty is often caused by a loss of dignity. Despair enters along with apathy which drags people into poverty. It's often the case that the loss of dignity leads to drug addiction as well. But, those are only two of the many reasons for poverty, war, crime, political oppression, etc...there are many reasons. I was revitalized by the humanitarian work I was doing. I ended up with a great career in transportation and live in a great house overlooking Puget Sound now. Keep up the good work!👍
It shows what can be done when a destructive life style is avoided. God bless you.
Homeless people but so respectful, clean and peaceful..... That's why I have so much respect to Japan and the it's people

Bring netting, if they can place it over the frame and garden, birds couldn’t destroy the plants before they start to thrive. It can be reused.
As a Japanese currently living in Japan, I did not know about this. I suppose it’s hidden from us citizens as well. Thank you so much for sharing, it means so much for us to have opportunities and sources to know about it.
Thats how yall operate. I wish i have the drive to film whatever i see. Ive seen the most horrible situations in asia. They say we africans are poor but the things ive seen in japan and Korea are alarming. However the skyscrapers are doing a good job to cover up the reality.
Maybe they have no comfortable house to live in but when it comes to food they are self sufficient as a matter of fact they planted it in their backyard..
You as Japanese people must learn to be sensitive to social conditions. I see that many Japanese people seem indifferent and ignorant about responding to social issues. Too focused on work or in their own world so that many poor people are not helped. Now start being critical of social and political issues in your government, don't be lulled into pretending your country is perfect

Watching from Mexico.
Wonderful that you are bringing awareness to these forgotten people
Sending love from Japan to Mexico.
@@OrientalPearl thank you, very sweet
i'm from the Philippines, and believe me, we have a lot of homeless people too, you can see them everywhere. However, when I visited Japan back in 2019 and I walked under a pedestrian crossing in Shibuya and I was shocked that there are homeless people too in Japan which is quite unusual for me as a person coming from a developing country.
I didn’t see homeless in Shibuya just hella white people
My wife and I were just talking about this today while walking around Shinjuku, that compared to the Philippines, Japan "seems" to have solved poverty. This documentary is an eye opener that disparities still exist in the wealthiest of nations. Grabe goosebumps because I didn't search for this. I hope their government does better than ours back home.
It is the very very very first time that I don't get angry and annoyed by the ads on TH-cam.
Thank so much for using money you raised for the benefit of homeless elder people ❤😢
raise money for the benefits of homeless Japanese? LOL
Did you cone here by ads? Really!?
i live in japan and work with japanese people. the homeless people interviewed here are just as well-spoken and dignified as my japanese colleagues. and the fact that they are not alcohol or substance abusers makes me respect them. i hope their situation gets drastically better!
So you believe someone with alcoholism or drug issues deserve to be treated with less decency?
"Please look kindly on us" hit me pretty hard.
Do not worry - this is a standard greeting with no good English equivalent. It's exchanged every time you meet someone new.

@@blackqueen164 It is literally what the video maker said, not even the homeless people lol. She said "yoroshiku onegaishimasu".

Many of these people look so nice. No drug addiction or substance abuse, but people who have their dignity.
Even some of their space is clean and organized!
The lack of social organizations/companies to get people out of this is heartbreaking.
If only we can match empty houses with these people!
japan has millions of empty homes...

I love how clean, organized and positive thinking they are. Instead of drugs or alcohol they do gardening. So cool! Traditional Japanese culture is very impressive 👍
@@Madamoizillion I referred to their gardening... I think it is cool to garden instead of just looking for food donations. Amazing how you could find a way to frown at that...
yes better than other people in the world which they are poor and yet go to drugs and alcohol..this people are very discipline and perseverance is at highest level.
AIYSSA uses very polite language.

You do not have to apologise if your English is incorrect.
Thank you for explaining it to us.
Oh dear it's correct. Keep fighting 🤭
One very beautiful thing i can deduce from this video is that it seems there is a lot of respectful gestures and courtesy woven into the Japanese culture.
As an American living in Japan, this is the type of journalism I love! Exposing the dark side of Japan, that’s been hidden from the world.
Me too, in south Korea always criticizing japan i always want Korea exposed too. Many foreigners dont see these things. I met poor people in south Korea that me as an africa have never seen in my country. They were all above 60! I have not recovered from that. In africa we dont have homeless elderly people but they keep portraying africa to be the worst place!
Sameeeee we are lucky to be living here in japan.
Glad I seen this video on my timeline, because I just got back from japan a day ago and I only seen like 3 homeless people. I was actually impressed.
@@lazyscorpion3889they are considered the forgotten generation as they were in between the war and economic boom. I'm so thankful my mom immigrated to the United States or she likely would have been laboring away on the street in near poverty
You don't understand the essence of these problems. In short, it is the root of a very tolerant administration towards Chinese immigrants and a strict administration towards Japanese people.
I have been to Japan many times my wife is from Osaka, I have seen homeless people living beside the river. When you pointed this out right away all I said was yes. I asked my wife about the homeless many of the people work to survive and are not beggars very proud people. I have been in different countries and have found people who have nothing will give you their all, I'm more happy talking to someone who has nothing than someone with everything.
@davidwang4364or maybe people who have more than they need are often dumb assholes, hopes this helps :)
@@orphaxx1254
Maybe both you and david wang are speaking some truths.
Both perspectives could be true in different contexts, you know.
There's no "one size fits all"...
How a country with 14 million abandoned homes has homeless people is insane.
Those houses are in terrible condition. They are in need of massive expensive renovations.
@serriajohn Governments do not have money because governments do not produce anything, they simply manage the money they steal from society. Anyway 3.000 homeless in a country with 120 millions looks awesome. Tell me, your country did better?
It is bloody expensive to repair and maintain a house in Japan. Even if they give it free, it cost a lot to repair. How can these people own such houses?
@OrientalPearl exactly. I hv a friend who lives in osaka and in the past, akita
@@OrientalPearl compared to where they live now and how they must struggle during cold weather and winters a house in almost any condition might be better and warmer
Homeless people live such a humble and dignified life in Japan. They maximise every opportunity and keep their humble abodes, and the surrounding area clean and tidy.
Thank you.
The reality you needed to know that you cannot see in any media. Thank you for sharing and helping those poor elders.
Wait until you try to shoot videos of poor people in another large Asian country portraying itself as nouveau rich and powerful 😂
Japanese homeless are not begging
They are hard workers 💪🏿
Maybe because in the Western world the homeless aren’t allowed to establish themselves like this and grow things. They have no way to eat except bed.
Unlike here in the Philippines, many homeless Filipinos are begging in the streets, children and old alike. Sad but true.
Of course Japanese are wonderful nation ❤😊
Another in the fine documentary style videos that you have made bring the plight of Japan's homeless to light. I have followed your lead and donated to this cause. I am always impressed by the dignity and strength that the individuals you highlight display. I know I could not cope as well as many of these individuals have and do in their challenging situations. I like all your content, you continue to inspire in so many ways.
Hi Jim, I’m so glad to hear from you. I was wondering how you were doing back home in Canada. I’m also happy you’re finding this series interesting.

Much respect. 🙌🏽 They may be homeless, but their “home”/living space is organize/clean. Great video!
It never ceases to amaze me - the respect, kindness and humbleness of the Japanese people, particularly the homeless that you've just shown us in your video. I was in Japan about 4 years ago and in Tokyo. It humbles me to know that people like those in your video were probably right under my feet. Best wishes to one and all.
Me too. Just because they don’t have money doesn’t mean they can’t live with dignity. Japan is amazing.
The Japanese are very respectful humble kind in My experience in The military and being stationed in Japan 😮
you know it's quite common to our wellfare societies ! once you're "old" you become " nobody" even a mids families, grandchildren remember you short before Christmas to get their cash envelop, and if there isn't any, they forget all about you -
This is so sad! I come from Africa and I never thought that there are homeless people in Japan! I have seen many homeless in the UK where I currently live but never thought there could be homeless in Japan. Japanese government please help your people! My heart goes out for the elderly! How do they cope in the winter😢? God help these people! They are your creation.
Ameen😢
Every country has Homeless. I do not know of a single country that is without some degree of homelessness. Especially a Capitalist country.
When I looked up the number of homeless people,
there were 3,448 in Japan,
90,063 in the UK,
142,900 in France,
653,100 in the US,
and 860,000 in Germany.
And I wanted them to save the homeless in their own countries, not in Japan.
So ignorant to think homelessness didn't exist there it existed every where even in France. Shiiiit even in Monaco of all places ..maybe not alot but there are there too ..being hidden by prince Albert's regime
GOD DOES NOT NEED YOU telling Him the Creator of the universe what to do. He said long ago blessed is the country who's God is the Lord, the U.S. has been extremely blessed because at one time we were a Christian nation. Japan needs to turn to Jesus, The Son.
As a chinese proverb Say " Big Trees have Big Decay Branches and Big Develop Society have big Homeless problem " . It is good for you guys to help this people. Keep it up.
At least People there are Giving Support, a little amount of Foods in Japan! Thanks for Sharing.💚💚
the way Japanese people are being polite and didn't hesitate to accept I just realized I want to live in Japan whether it's poor or rich that I can live in more peaceful
Because you just see their surface levels
@davidwang4364they are very racist and many weird things are done like murder and sexual assault
Just make sure your not black or anything but Japanese js
These people deserve help. Thank you for helping.

God's work has not lasted until now because of the heritage passed down by mankind through the generations; it is a work He personally initiates and completes, not necessarily succeeding the legacy of a particular great spiritual person, or inheriting anywork of a representative nature done by God in some other age People don't need to worry about any of these things. God now has a different style of speech and action, so why do people confuse themselves? If people walk today's path contained in the Current while continuing the legacy of their "ancestors," they will never reach their destination. GOD FEELS A STRONG DISGUST for this particular class of MAN'S BEHAVIOR, just as He HATES the YEARS, MONTHS and DAYS of MAN'S WORLD. 🙏
From "The WORD Appears in the Flesh". holy book
Fulfilled in "In the beginning He was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). ... and (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His garment was stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God" (Rev. 19:13).
📩 All who have "ears to listen" are led to what the Spirit of God is saying in His lowered and built kingdom/Church engraved with His new name, His totality, the ownership of this disposition, "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD "💐 fulfillment from what was said He to Peter 2,000 years ago recorded in (Matthew 16:18-19). His Coming is the fulfillment of all that was prophesied in the great book of Revelation, so the last "Salvation" He brought the whole truth, the way for eternal life. So the "victorious" ones who will receive them are the wise "virgins" because as recorded in the prophecy of His return no one knows it except the one who will receive it! So "come" and come to His kingdom/church standing in the holy place in the air/TH-cam! This is also a fulfillment from the book of (Isaiah 2:2/9:6) which He first fulfilled in His first incarnation. 📥
"They say with a loud voice, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the Throne!" (Rev. 7:10). ... and (Isaiah 2: 2 / 9:6) "On the Last Day, the mountain on which Jehovah's temple stands will stand out above all the mountains. All nations will flock there. " . "For a baby boy is born to us. The rule will be given to him; and he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." 📧
I see many parallels between these elder people and elder people living in derelict brick houses in rural areas in my country in eastern europe from very little pension, and have to live almost a self-sustaining life. These people have great wisdom, so don't forget to say hi once you meet them!
Japan has a system to house and support homeless people. Outside of major metropolitan areas, public apartments are often less than half full and vacant, and those on welfare receive financial support and free medical care. Many homeless people in Japan stubbornly refuse support of their own volition. The city where I live has a population of 800,000, and there are about five homeless people living near the station and the police box. They are constantly in contact with the city and police officers, and although the number is decreasing, some of them refuse to move. After all, there are always clean toilets available.
Kinda nice the awareness of the homeless in Japan has found a home on your channel!🙏
Thank you friend. Much more importantly we want to raise money to help get these people what they need and help as many as we can get into housing.
Thank you for caring about those kind people. The difference is night and day between homeless here in America and there in Japan. They are so gracious and graceful where as many over here are violent, demanding and ungrateful and entitled.
Many homeless people here in the USA are mentally unwell. I imagine part of the problem here is that mentally ill people here in the USA aren't put in an institution or supported in some way, they end up on the street and in urban areas are apparent to all. I imagine other homeless people lose their mental balance, even if they don't suffer from some sort of inherent mental illness, because life on the street is so difficult. A lot more become homeless because they become drug addicts and spiral down and lose everything. To me, the squalid state of the homeless in US, and the sheer number of homeless people here, is a reflection of a larger illness in the state of our national 'culture' for lack of a better term. If the United States was a person it would be diagnosed as a mentally unwell person.
@@haroldbeck4351well said
If Japan is forced to embrace diversity the same as the West has, it will suffer the same fate. I truly hope that does not happen.
This is a dumpster fire take and you are brainwashed by propaganda.
Mental health is strongly correlated with social connections and tolerable conditions for living. When people feel hopeless, powerless, and trapped -- as many do in our dystopian late-stage capitalism with a lot of toxicity, trauma, and hostility -- they put their mind and energy toward escaping those conditions. Some drink alcohol or take other drugs to get away. Some isolate and lose themselves in videos, games, books, or other media. Some fall into delusional states, either shared and supported with a like-minded group, or singular and isolating again. Some just stuff their feelings down for years, maybe decades, until their body hits a hard limit and they have a new diagnosis or three.
When you see people struggling to keep going from day to day, think about the pain they carry, the trauma that set them on the path. Think about how improbable it is that they have the capacity to worry about offending you with their presence, their appearance, their odor, their possessions, their struggles. Maybe let go of some of that urge to judge, both them and yourself. ❤
I'm from Mongolia. They are hardworking people❤❤❤. Love ❤
Aren't the nomads there considered "homeless" since they have no permanent address?
@@blebhan8213 No. You are wrong. Nomads take their gers (home) and move for sustain the livestock in most nutritious areas. It does not mean “homeless” and poor. I think they are richest. But in Mongolian homeless people are more concentrated in urban central area.
I live here in Japan for almost 35 years but don’t know about these homeless people, thanks for sharing your videos
There are plenty of homeless ppl in Japan ! I used to live In Kansai, there are lots of … mostly you can see them in Tennoji / Kyobashi.
Also in Umeda, Shinsaibashi, and Namba …. they are hanging around. But the thing is like other countries they never begging money, food or anything. Some reason they are homeless.
When I was there a few times I tried to give some homeless people food, beer, and some money they were not accepted. And asked me to leave them alone!
really?
Coz u living in a room and never out
I have too admit Alyssa..You made me cry how you try to help where and when you can. You are AWESOME and have my TOTAL respect. Thank you for being the loving heart you are.
On a recent visit to Tokyo I saw homeless people in Shinjuku and these young men and girls near Kabuchiko tower that I did not realize were homeless. some of them i think did have homes but for some reason they would not go home. I did not know until watching these videos that there were elderly homeless living near a river in Japan , This is heartbreaking to watch. I am 70 and I cannot imagine living like this. Where I come from, Albuquerque New Mexico U.S.A. there are many homeless people who are mentally ill or on drugs, who are constantly in the streets begging for money. Many of these people cannot work due to drug addiction or mental illness and have lost their personal dignity. But in Japan the homeless are at least respectful and polite and not on drugs that can make them dangerous to approach.. I did not see any homeless people begging for money in the streets. As a result these people at least retain their personal dignity and self respect and deserve to be helped even more for that in my opinion. This just cannot continue. This young lady is doing her part to help these people, If more people like her would be doing this perhaps all the homeless in Japan would be reached some day and taken off the streets. I would like to contribute to your project of building homeless shelter in Shinjuku as it is really needed there. This is kind of a dangerous area in Japan at night. Thank you so much for what you are doing> making the world aware of this problem and helping them with food and supplies at the same time. I wish I could be there helping you. But for now all I can do is pray for these people and pray that you are successful in buying that homeless shelter. May God Bless you sweet lady for what you are doing. Makes me feel proud that one of our own is out there in the world making a difference.
There are dignified and ‘invisible’ homeless here in America also. I am one of them. A nurse of 15yrs. We live in our cars. In vans and trucks. At Walmarts and truck stops. We just look like everyone else. Trunk full of pillows and blankets…I see them now that I am them.
This was equally heartbreaking as they are decent people with dignity, as it is inspiring and a testament to the human spirit and survival.
the WHOLE world can learn so much from japan. Their culture is unmatched, its a beautiful thing to see such thankful people who are in such dire straits.
It's a beautiful thing to see people struggling to survive in one of the most wealthiest societies in the world?! There is so much you need to learn from this video.
What would actually be beautiful would be a society where these people were given the dignity of safe housing. THAT would be something all countries could strive for.
japan is a house of cards. theyre all extremely depressed, overworked and deeply unhappy. (and those who are not are just masking their emotions or convincing themselves that theyre fine). human beings are not worker ants. we have not evolved to dedicate 70% of our waking hours to work. the cracks in the japanese way of life have been showing for a while and the bubble is about to burst. thats why the birth rate is plummeting and they were forced to open their doors to undesirables from countries that have no business being anywhere near any civilized societies (who btw, have immediately proceeded to create "no go zones" all over japan, where a native person wouldnt dare to venture anywhere near). theres only so far you can push an engine to operate at maximum capacity before it overheats

God's work has not lasted until now because of the heritage passed down by mankind through the generations; it is a work He personally initiates and completes, not necessarily succeeding the legacy of a particular great spiritual person, or inheriting anywork of a representative nature done by God in some other age People don't need to worry about any of these things. God now has a different style of speech and action, so why do people confuse themselves? If people walk today's path contained in the Current while continuing the legacy of their "ancestors," they will never reach their destination. GOD FEELS A STRONG DISGUST for this particular class of MAN'S BEHAVIOR, just as He HATES the YEARS, MONTHS and DAYS of MAN'S WORLD. 🙏
From "The WORD Appears in the Flesh". holy book
Fulfilled in "In the beginning He was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). ... and (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His garment was stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God" (Rev. 19:13).
📩 All who have "ears to listen" are led to what the Spirit of God is saying in His lowered and built kingdom/Church engraved with His new name, His totality, the ownership of this disposition, "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD "💐 fulfillment from what was said He to Peter 2,000 years ago recorded in (Matthew 16:18-19). His Coming is the fulfillment of all that was prophesied in the great book of Revelation, so the last "Salvation" He brought the whole truth, the way for eternal life. So the "victorious" ones who will receive them are the wise "virgins" because as recorded in the prophecy of His return no one knows it except the one who will receive it! So "come" and come to His kingdom/church standing in the holy place in the air/TH-cam! This is also a fulfillment from the book of (Isaiah 2:2/9:6) which He first fulfilled in His first incarnation. 📥
"They say with a loud voice, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the Throne!" (Rev. 7:10). ... and (Isaiah 2: 2 / 9:6) "On the Last Day, the mountain on which Jehovah's temple stands will stand out above all the mountains. All nations will flock there. " . "For a baby boy is born to us. The rule will be given to him; and he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." 📧
Yeah not, Japan is just another society screwed over by traditions that limit freedom and growth. Don’t let Japan’s polite exterior fool you. I lived there. Firstly, they’re highly bigoted & racist. They discard & ignore whole sections of their society & more. You can learn what not to do with Japan. Their society has no life, no fullness do it. They lower their heads & claim humility but it’s all for show. Inwardly they believe themselves to be superior to all others. The biblical myth has a saying, by their fruit you shall know them. We saw Japan’s fruit during WW2. A people so ruthless & brutal they were hated throughout Asia. They allied with the Nazis. Can a culture change? Sure but if it’s only the surface, the underbelly still lives. America’s underbelly is racism,bigotry & greed. The Japanese underbelly is racism,bigotry & greed. Japan just hides it all with polite interactions & a cultural passiveness that disguises the screw job & hatred.
Thank you all for your charity ❣
Thanks for doing great field work, Anming! ❤
I found Oriental Pearl's channel through Nomad Push. Kudos to your efforts to help the homeless people in Japan 👏 👏 👏
I'm sure the Japanese government is not happy to have this blasted out to the world....
Keep it up!
How? Did they intentionally hide it?
@davidwang4364 dude literally every nation has homeless. Only idiots would beleive otherwise regardless of the image portrayed by a nations government.
Thank you for highlighting this and helping improve their lives. It’s so important to help others when your own life is good.
❤
This series is so good, I’m so glad you never gave up on your channel. Please keep the content up
So heartwarming that still there's goodhearted people are giving help for helpless people like them,, keep up your good deeds trust me God will repay you
Thank you so much for helping. World needs people like you compassion and kindness. Bless you all.
We need to be like her
Even the wealthiest and most affluent countries in the world have their underclass. And Japan is no exception. Only that in dignity and respect they must live.
My heart goes to the Elderlies... They got a home, it's the house they lack.
We’ll said
Ditto 🙏🏿 Sad memories. I too L👀k Fwd to a New60PlusH🏡ME overseas in S.America. Old one was taken during COV19UK - Lockdowns 😿🌷🌱🌾🐔🐤🍃🥀🐐🌴
I have been watching many, many videos of north Vietnamese young girls with babies, accepting government deals to build bamboo houses. The men hide and refuse to help if not married. I have watched so many videos that I could most likely build one of these houses myself with some help.. These girls have to not only build their house, but raise their babies tied to their backs, while planting gardens to sell their produce for food. Many have no diapers and have to hold their babies over a creek to pee or poop, bending down to the water to wash their babies, while they do everything else.
I am eighty and try to do everything myself, but I own a house and receive some government help for my age with utility bills.
That would be great for elderly people, to find some youngsters to put up housing for them. But government help to provide utilities and enough for basic food is still NEEDED.
Our minds are still so good and wise. It is a shame to neglect people who still have so much to offer.
日本には生活保護という福祉制度があります
ホームレスの中には、人に頼りたくない、家族に迷惑をかけたくないという理由でこの制度を利用しない人も多いです
That is no excuse sir they are homeless and Japan is becoming a poor nation as time goes by
Thank you for showing the pain of homeless people to the world 🌎
Does anyone notice how different they are from the American homeless? So respectful, clean organized and appears to be not on any drugs or substances
Not all American homeless people are drug addicts or on drugs at all 🙄
homeless people on substances are still worthy of your respect that being said
i agree i guess i can compare it to the rest of the world i mean their homeless here in the videos seems like a province from other countries like they be smart for planting foods meanwhile homeless country from other countries are violent and full of trash and addicts aka squatter areas
@@piroshk1968but who is to blame from their drg adctusion? 🙄🙄 You or themselves?
@@kaidanalenko5222first of all America and Japan are different they have a different quality of life there compared to here the homeless here usually do the drugs because they feel they have no other way to cope they do it because they need support but there are lack of things to help and the things that can come at some price those homeless shelters you know of are overcrowded and the streets are cold you could also get attacked by another homeless person it's horrible and having to be like that infront of people who pass the street not acknowledging them it's painful and it hurts the reason they turn to alcohol or drugs is to cope so they can feel Okay so they can feel warm to feel some solace when all alone your lack of empathy and understanding of this just shows your lack of morality for homeless people
日本人がホームレスを隠してる事実はないから。生活保護制度があるけれど、それを拒否する人もいるし。不正受給外国人生活保護者についても触れなければ偏向動画だと思う
ほんとその通りです。彼女は一体何を考えているのか、昔の動画はよかったんだけど、なんか変わってしまいました。
A Japanese person once told me there is no homeless people in Japan and she got upset when I mentioned seeing the encampments.
むしろ東京都はホームレスゼロ計画を猛烈にアピールしてるのにね。
宮下公園の解体がその一例でそこのホームレス達は月3000円の家賃でアパートに移り住んだ。
現状のホームレスは河川敷が多くてそこの多くがアパート移住が嫌で逃げてきた高齢のベテラン勢のホームレス。
誤解を招くタイトルで残念だ。
Di Jepang walaupun homeless,tp hidup bersih teratur,ada air sungai tidak dikotori dgn sampah2.udara segar di desa,BS menanam ,pelihara hewan utk makanan manusia.bagus sekali kebiasaan mereka menjaga kebersihan lingkungan.👍
Nah itu
kondisi nya tetap lebih baik dari para homeless di +62
I love this kind of channel. This is what we should do, Kindness, helping and sharing in this earth.
God bless the poor people's ❤
Homelessness in Japan is still clean and organize. What an outstanding race they are.
Sure... the Japanarians are very interesting !
It is never the race. It is the attitude. Let us not be racists (even in a good way). It will only be a matter of time, it can be weaponized against others.
Not race but culture
What a racist thing to say.
Exactly
*_I appreciate the in-depth research and the presenter’s enthusiasm. _*This video kept me hooked from start to finish._* 😍
it is not enthusiasm, it's a way of earning a living
I was just in Japan. I can’t prove they were homeless, but I saw one elderly woman sleeping on cardboard box in tourist area dontonbori Osaka, one older man begging outside street mall Kobe, two elderly sleeping on cardboard two blocks from Shibuya scramble crossing. I didn’t see any of this in 2019. Sadness for them. Thx for this video.
A genuine pleasure to find intelligent, understanding content by someone blessed with good grace and humility. Refreshing. Thankyou.
Meanwhile, there are so many akiya sitting empty for decades. The world is upside-down.
You and Tommy are just so admirable to get the word out. Grass roots action is the best.
jepang is not comunis. No free home for the poor.
Empty houses are not necessarily for sale. And prices just stagnate and don't go down
The situation with akiya is complicated by inheritance tax from their sale. It was not the intention to give them away but they could be rented cheaply to charitable organisations to help these people. Win/ win as far as I can see.
@@iralia333..that looks like a good idea.. 🙏🏻❤️
@@carkawalakhatulistiwa free housing =/= communist. Have you seen Beijing lately?
This is one hell of an interesting video, congratulations Oriental Pearl! 🏆
I’m glad that you liked this one so much.
To be honest, I'd rather live with these old people than the richer side of life. Full of respect, values and most important of all, they're full of love ❤❤❤
It’s amazing what you’re doing for these lovely people who’ve been met with such misfortune. It would be great if the government, and perhaps the rest of Japan, got involved to solve this homelessness crisis in the country. It can happen to any one of us and is heartbreaking to think that a lot of people don’t even think to contribute in any shape or form. Good to see you doing your bit as well as raising awareness along the way. Massive respect.
Great video , I subscribed to that young homeless guy with skateboard and his TH-cam channel has really exploded after you had him on, thank you
Me too.
Same.
Thanks for supporting him. We went from 2k subs to over 50k in 2 weeks!
@@OrientalPearl imagine the power you got guurl...!!!! LOTS OF LOVE FROM INDO 😉💖🌸✨️
He's a legend. Thank you for introducing us to him.
You’re doing a great work, this is so touching.
Inspite of their situation, they are so proud and polite. Bless their hearts!
Nicely put together video as usual 💯 As someone who works with the homeless regularly I find this especially an interesting topic. Keep up the good work 💯
That’s so awesome that you work with the homeless!
@@OrientalPearl Thanks! That is one thing I want to do in Japan when I come, is physically help some homeless people in Japan 💯
What a good video........I love Japan and many things Japanese, architecture, customs, food and history. Even in poverty they are an appealing people with there politeness and manners intact. Thank you so much.
I thought there are No Homeless people in Japan. Thank you for sharing your activities..
i'm from indonesia, to this day i to thought the are no homeless in japan, thanks for this video now we knew its not true
I've already watched a lot of documentaries and vlogs about homeless people in East Asia. Japan and South Korea is not an exemption to the world.
Everywhere and anywhere in the world there is homeless. Regardless of your country is the richest. D they have different story why become homeless. Its hard to point it out why and what happend but reality it is. Sad but truth.
I thought no homeless in 🇺🇸 Europe n 🇦🇺
There are homeless literally everywhere around the world, some more obvious than others, no culture, city, etc., is immune to homelessness - Many have tried to solve homelessness but the reality is one of the human condition in today's world - Millions of dollars have been utilized and many millions have disappeared trying - It's a key issue/concern in today's society with no apparent solution, sad - But there are those that keep trying no matter the odds - Bless them all... \m/
I want to thank you for putting a spotlight on homeless people. You’ve done several videos on this subject, and I think it offers an important service to any society to bring attention to the worst off. You are on the good path ❤😊很感谢你
It is amazing the lack of drugs and violence there compared to the homeless here in the states. Thank you for making this video.
The first couple... Oh wow...Im so reduced to tears...but see the beautiful joy this couple have and still their respect.. Still have a lot of life and living life as best they can...
❤
Japan has a pension system.
And even foreigners who have been in Japan for a short time can receive welfare benefits.
Why can't these people receive benefits?
I have high respect for Japanese people. Their dignity and honesty is intact. No matter how poor they are, yet they have pure hearts as clean as their way of life.
Thank you for enlightening us. You're doing a wonderful job showing us and you are very brave and you set a great example by helping others
They are so resilient.. amazing strength of character. They may be homeless but they are thriving.
I saw in a video from a friend of mine who works in Japan, especially in rural areas/village, in rural areas/village of Japan there are many houses that are abandoned and deserted by the oner, you can rarely find people passing by, but in this video you can actually see Japanese people who don't have homes, just relying on tents and whatever equipment they have on the outskirts. Japanese cities, why don't they return to the villages to occupy houses and empty land there to use and cultivate? it's actually better than being poor.
Maybe due to high expenses on rent or housing fees and others expenses such as electric and water bill . They can't afford to pay due to their current financial state .
@@alvinduque8885My friend, who worked in Japan for the first time as a gardener in a Japanese village, got temporary accommodation in an empty, uninhabited house. He only brought enough money from my country. In fact, people in the village said that most of the people who wanted to live in the village were few, they were only interested in looking for work. in the city because of wages and irritability, as a result, many agricultural lands and houses are left empty for years, some even for decades, while many of those who work in the city live an inadequate life because of economic differences and high job competition, even though life in the village is better than In this city, residents who once lived and worked in the city said they chose to return to work in the village rather than the city. They had advised others but were not believed, They only see an extraordinary city, a place to make money and entertainment without thinking about the negative impacts they receive without thinking about it. thorough self-preparation in looking for work and living in the city
maybe its owned by the bank. how cruel this world if we become older are life no value
Squatting on land that you don't own will end you up in prison. Maybe that has something to do with it?
My guess would be that rural areas are too isolated and lack resources/services.
HOMELESSNESS happens ALL OVER THE WORLD, so unfortunate. I am so very, very sorry 😞
My heart melts.
Thank U for sharing 💜
🌹🐾😽🌻
but with plenty of dignity and respect. Bravo Japanese people.🥰
im from philippines,thankyou for helping and reaching out to the poor🙏🏻❤️
