lol, i have the same exact feeling for watching this video. seems like a decent neighborhood . but then again i live in indonesia, so the living standard isn't even comparable.
Even though this is a slum and a financially deprived area of Japan 🇯🇵 they still have self respect and keep their streets and everything clean much respect from Brampton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 👏
Yeah this is just a poor neighborhood. Japan is an interesting case study in poverty. In general rental housing affordable to the poor sometimes doesn't have baths and maybe not even kitchens beyond a hotplate. So there is definitely a feeling by local and national govt that these basic needs must be met so they subsidize access to shower and bath facilities, etc Also many businesses view they have a role to society and not just shareholder value so many struggle to keep prices low especially in poorer areas. Mental health treatment in Japan is pretty bad. People can be committed to asylums for a long time and while this keeps them off the streets it's mostly a form of jail. Some of them are quite bad. Also it's almost impossible to get any kind of welfare and the aid itself is often pretty spartan. There is a huge hidden hunger issue amongst Japanese youth. Semi private "Kodomo Shokudou" have arisen to help feed kids and provide after school care for single parents or parents who have to work late. One thing Japan has got right is property taxes on housing are very very low and zoning is pretty liberal, leading to a wide array of housing at various price points. Many poverty specialists in Japan say the issue is mostly treated as "out of sight, out of mind". The big concern with the drastically weakening yen is that the poor may soon be facing dire food insecurity leading to more crime of necessity.
If you can get the hours you can definitely feed and house yourself at min wage in Tokyo. There are places cheap enough to do so. This is mostly unheard of in the west and likely only possible because of the falling land values in Japan.

Some of them are quite bad.* If Japan is sending their mentally ill people to asylums, I would say they're doing it right. I live in Canada and here we don't want to infringe on people's personal rights and so our politicians allow all the drug/alcohol addicts to live on the streets. We also allow the homeless to set up their tents in public parks and under elevated highways and anywhere else they want and we also allow the mentally ill and other violent people to roam the streets being a constant threat to the public because again the rights of all these people trump the rights of the general public to being able to live in a safe and peaceful society. If any politician ever wanted to open up institutions to house and treat the mentally ill or drug/alcohol addicted and keep them there long term until they get better or if they don't then keep them there indefinitely, there would be outrage among all the 'activists' who would call this inhuman treatment. And all this doesn't even include all the illegal immigrants/refugees/asylum seekers who our politicians are choosing to house in hotels and other expensive housing that is costing taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars every year. If you come illegally into Canada you can stay here for months and sometimes years while your case to stay is being heard and so Canadian taxpayers are paying for you all this time for your food, shelter and everything else you need.
I have traveled all over the world and I felt more safe in Japan at any time of day or night than walking my own city's downtown at night. Being armed here is a matter of survival. After I got back home I felt so disillusioned. I really hope to return one day. I Have been learning Japanese at my University as much as I can.
I've been punched for no reason in my town, screamed at, threatened, everyone is smoking weed or taking some sort of opioid, there's litter on every street and most gardens are overgrown and not maintained. The area in this video seems like an absolute paradise by comparison. It seems so quiet and peaceful, not to mention cheap, that I would seriously consider living there.
Are you being funny making this video calling this area slum and dangerous? The soup kitchen area looked nice, clean, not crowded, except for a small group of harmless senior citizens obediently getting in line for food.
@@Dollarshop tashikani it's clean and not very slum-like. but never assume the area is perfectly safe. you don't know what kind of danger they face you don't live there.
Slum? More like a laid-back district. Poor but orderly. There will always be people who will take advantage of the weak. But, in Japan, they are not being neglected.
Don't judge ppl bc they dont have money. If you dislike the ppl and the area, dont go. Most don't have money and/or loved ones here. They have no where else to go or no one that cares. You mentioned Yakuza being there. Yakuza is everywhere. At least they have pride. Pride to keep their district clean and peaceful. No where is 100 percent but there really isn't much to fear here. Be nice these are YOUR people.
I’ve been to Japan twice, when we were in Osaka there is this place were homeless stays, they were kind and harmless, and the place where they stay is clean, no bad smell. I hope their economy will recover soon, I love Japan
I was wondering why he felt scared walking through there? That place looks so neat, orderly, and almost like paradise! It just looks like a well-kept business and residential district.
I know a lot of people see this and say it looks nicer than our slums but i really appreciate seeing Japan from a real perspective. I try to show my friends the same thing when we travel and even to others when they visit me in the LA area. Life is not as it seems when you live in these areas. Thank you for the video. ありがとうございます
I enjoy watching these types of "gritty" Japan videos showing the real side of daily life. Japan is clean, safe and orderly. If I were to do a vlog series of my neighborhood you would be scared for me just living here.
You should visit the slums in the US. Japan slums are high end compared to the states. Back in the late 80s drive by shootings were common. In fact I witnessed one out in front of my high school. I was in Yokohama a few days ago and wish I knew this place because I would have visited
it looks really clean, there are lots of bikes left orderly outside and frail elderly walk quietly around - what are you even talking about??? the fear is in somebody's head...
Wow, Yokohama slum look really nice compare to slums in USA. Seriously, Yokohama slums look like nice neighborhoods compare to slums in California, New York, etc.
Thank you for your vidéo, even it says slums they look clean and well kept. JAPANESE ARE RICH in every way, and they are intelligent. I love JAPAN and Japanese culture.GOD BLESS JAPAN..
Come to Sri Lanka - they keep places where tourist go clean because the country is heavily dependent on money generated from tourists but where ordinary people live are like slums
This is not a slum. At most, it's a low-income area. Or the locals there are just conservative about modernity and just want to preserve their older homes and structures. Everything is clean.
As an American, I can tell you that I can't afford a house or apartment in the US, but maybe I would be able to afford a place in the slums of Tokyo and Yokohama. I wonder how much an apartment would go for in one of those neighborhoods?
AI says: _So while no precise rent numbers are stated, the context indicates that rent in the doya-gai slum areas of Yokohama is likely very cheap, perhaps just a few thousand yen per month at most, to accommodate those at the lowest rungs of society[3]. The low rents reflect the dilapidated conditions and lack of amenities in these slum districts._
この動画はすごいよ！I can tell how much effort you put into studying the history of this どやがい! I learned a lot. Really appreciate listening in Japanese and reading translation too. Helps me a lot with my Japanese study. Keep up the good work! Please try one of those shady bars one day. One other place to explore is the massage parlor areas of 新橋 and 五反田.
What kind of a slum district is this? I did not see any homeless/ squatters, drug addicts, prostitutes, children running around half naked, garbage/rubbish in the area and lastly, where are the Yakuzas?
Everything America touches or associates with turns to sad state! Honestly, Japan's slump area is pretty well kept and is better than most major cities in America!
I am from the UK and this does seem from my perspective to be a very clean,well maintained and pleasant place to live, but i think from a Japanese perspective this would not be where you would want to end your days.
My gosh the slum looks like middle class people living there. So clean unlike other country. Japanese people are very clean people. I dont mind living in the slum area.
Come to the US and find out the real meaning of slums. if 95% of the people living there are the elderly what is there to be afraid of? I am certain you can outrun them.
Where’s the slum area? It looked better than the city I’m living now. And I thought I’m living in a nice place. I think this guy was just telling us how great Japan is.
I wish you had a map to see the location. I lived in Japan in the 60's and early 70's. Yamamotoa -cho, Motomachi, Yamate-cho, Silk hotel, Asahi-dia. Water front. Most videos I have some recognition of the area. I dearly loved Yokohama. Bucket list to go home for a few years. YCAC, YIS, YYC, Sankien Gardens.
It is very sad that a country with such advanced technology has people living in slums. But this place is so clean and neat. Hats off to the city fathers for keeping this place spik and span.
1700円 is not too bad for a hostel in American terms, but I can say someone living in America in Phoenix Arizona can’t find a one bedroom apartment under 188100円 per month, and in similar circumstances (I.e. expensive properties right next to slum areas).
Your slums really look clean and orderly. Way much better then our slums that sometimes you can even smell the stench of canals or drains. LOL. Even the houses look way much better. Those house here are already for middle income earners. Some Japanese or even Korean move to our country ( outside the capital ) because the food and cost of living is cheap then their own country. The only thing that one can complain is the healthcare as private hospital makes you spend more and public hospitals have long lines and often take long if your checking in.
Does it feel good to make disparaging comments about people who are doing the best that they can in life? Are you a better person for calling places slums? I don’t understand what it costs to be kind, empathetic and respectful in this world toward other human beings.
Nice video! How would you know that a neighborhood is a doya-gai? Seems the neighborhood is decent and clean. And as we are fans of Japanese food, we explore any food shops in any neighborhood. But just like you, I would also have 不安 if they’re not properly prepared. So how would you know if you’re in a doya-gai?
This looks like a pretty nice slum. If it were an American slum, all the bicycles would be stolen, and it wouldn't be safe for the elderly to go out at all.
It's pretty bizarre that Japan has homeless people, you would think they would be pragmatic by providing housing like the simply do in Nordic countries. Yes, there are people with mental problems who would ruin housing but that's more of a a willingness/unwillingness to have mental hospitals/camps.
When i stayed near Shin Imamiya Station in Osaka, I noticed quite a number of homeless people with tents. The area also slightly 'dirty' than other places I noticed.
A little over dramatised. I know and was just in these areas a week ago. Have been here many times over 60 years. The homeless are sleeping in the underpass to Isezakicho, along the riverbank at 16:51 Ishikawacho and in the Noge area. I personally love these areas as they remind me of the old Japan. The back alley bar scene is much more authentic than golden gai at Shibuya.
There is no actual slum in east Japan for decades (and that's why no one in Tokyo knows about burakumin/dowa problem). This is just a normal town where poor people live.
Thank you for showing us an area of Japan and narrating a brief history of its development. I personally think it is a rather peaceful and clean area in comparison to the typical American slums. Japanese people, in general are disciplined and have a sense of pride for their country and community, in my humble opinion. I hope Japan keeps its own culture/traditions and not follow America's current woke culture/trends. It's the only way it will survive and thrive.
I have to agree with the other comments: Japanese "slums" are not scary, and look like normal living districts. The truly terrifying crimes and slums of USA are nothing like this. In general, I have noticed that Japan still has a very silver lined image of the America, where as rest of the Western world considers their modern way of living and anything from Hollywood to be bottom of the barrel garbage at worst. I honestly cannot see Japan falling that low, and I hope that Japanese won't be influenced by the many regressive American / Californian trends.
I couldn't see any slum in this video. I also don't necessarily agree that churches organizing food distribution for the poor should be viewd as and fall in the cathegory of religious extremists. I would argue those organizations are god sent, especially when the State doesn't take care of these people's problems.
Your slum area looks like our rich business district, even more clean.
Which country are you?😆
@@KeilandWalk I'm in the U.S. and not even our nice city areas are this nice... What were you afraid of? Someone talking loudly?
今はだいぶきれいになりましたね。僕が小学校の頃、20年ほど前は子供では入れないような・・・そこら中で火が、焚火があがっていたり。今は警察官に注意されますが、当時は朝から路上に座って酒を飲んでいる人が結構いました。まだ汚いけど、全然きれいになりました。

Ugh I love Japan hardly any black peoples exist there and people don’t have any tattoos amazing
Unlike the entire state of West Virginia, Maine, Vermont New Hampshire and Pennsylvania which is full of meth, incest and opioids.
Japanese slums are already a posh area here in the Philippines. Come here and I will show you the real meaning of slums.
Because Pacific Islands are different from Asia.

The situation is much different in Japan, but I understood.
Visit the slum here in the Philippines,,once you see, you dont want to go back here again
Looks like you abuse the terms "slum"
There is no actual slum in east Japan for decades (and that's why no one in Tokyo knows about burakumin/dowa problem).
This is just a normal town where poor people live.
Just like another video shows how poor people live in Switzerland, many feel it is better than the middle or even upper class in their countries.
Nice video, thanks. Actually it was more the British who had merchants and troops in the area, and introduced the technology, not Americans.
if you come to India, you might think many localities are slum areas 😂!! that's a luxury for us middle class Indian
8:30 I was wondering "why is an Alphard in that area." In the Philippines, that's an "elite-tier" van.
Not crowded. Spacious

面白い情報をありがとう
こちらこそ！見てくれてありがとう😊
For being a poor neighborhood, they sure look very good compared with those slums in the US.
Hahaha
Yeah. "Slums":
ああ、最後に、日本のあまり良くない部分、私はそれが好きです
I couldn't see any slum in this video. I also don't necessarily agree that churches organizing food distribution for the poor should be viewd as and fall in the cathegory of religious extremists. I would argue those organizations are god sent, especially when the State doesn't take care of these people's problems.
Wow, doesn’t look to bad to me. We have encampments camps in my town and they are very scary.
OMG😱
