Homeless Japan

I live pretty much in farm country, so even if something is completely poor, they still have a home. The quality of the home is what makes them different though. Only times I really see homeless people is when I go into the city for school and work. Most of the ones I've encountered aren't really nice people. Here they try to take advantage of your kindness or just try to scare you and hope you give them money to go away.

I sometimes see homeless people in town singing while playing the guitar for spare change. The police usually take them away because of the racket they cause.

I just can't stand to see a homeless in winter, that's why, instead of giving away my clothes to associations, i give them to the homeless directly. Every winter, i pack a whole bunch of things that i don't use anymore and put them in the trunk of my car, then, i go where the homeless people gather and distribute it.

I also listen to them for a while and their story, it helps them more than a few bucks. Now i know like ten homeleww people in my town and talk to them when we meet in the streets.

And i don't do that to feel good or improve my ego, i just do it cause it's simple, costs nothing and do a world of good to those unlucky guys.

I have been told by many Japanese residents that many homeless are homeless by choice and have money. Aparently they wish to escape many pressures of life.
Is this true? :)

Homeless are fun. But they're only in downtown Toronto. I used to collect quarters and dollars and throw them at the homeless when I was a kid. They'd be like "kid I bet you can't nail me in the head!" Pwned. Then they'd be like "kid I bet you can't nail me in the head with a toonie(2 dollar coin)!" But now it seems they all left... to California o.o

Offering him a drink, even though a small gesture of kindness i think is a very fine thing of you to do.

I can imagine that the majority of people would simply run them off thier property.

I see a few homeless people around town but i suppose its such a closed world that you really cant understand what its like unless you live it for real.

I'm surprised you've never seen homeless in Tokyo. I was in Shinjuku for two days and personally saw tons of them around that area (particularly west of the JR station in the skyscraper district).

The experience you had in London happens a lot here in the Philippines. That's why I gave up on helping the bastards. If they seek to better themselves, I see no problem in helping them out. But that's not the case here in Manila.

I saw homeless in parks I visited in Osaka, especially the park near Osaka Castle. The homeless problem here is pretty bad and everyone here, besides the homeless themselves, don't even talk much less give eye contact to them. The homeless here don't ask for money though which is nice.

I always seen a lot of homeless people in Florida. When I was younger, downtown areas of Detroit and Toronto where the only places I seen them. In Florida they where always begging money. Although, it was often hard to tell if they where actually homeless since many of them where using it as a scam. I guess one can make a lot from begging.

I have seen homeless in Osaka. I say that because I have seen them "collecting" to get money. If I hadn't seen them doing such I probably wouldn't have recognized then as homeless. They don't fit into the western view of homeless in many ways. Many of them don't look like homeless, they keep active as you pointed out and don't usually beg for money. Hell, I have the feeling most might take it as an insult if you offered them money.

After looking at the BBC link, I wonder where that homeless association and tent village is in Osaka. I wouldn't mind lending them a hand in one way or another.

The homeless in my area are generally drug addicts or jobless drunks with no self respect...
if you give them any money, they would most likely waste it on drugs and alcohol.like I said no self respect. Homeless in my area are even known to mug people and burglar houses
Regarding the homeless in Japan, i do remember seeing them building squatters under bridges in the Ikebukuro area on my last visit to Tokyo.

Very nice of you to offer him a cup of tea =D

In Singapore, there aren't so many homeless people around cause the government clear them up pretty quick. The only people I see sleeping on the floor at night are drunkards who probably got too drunk to walk home.

I remember in college when my friends and I got a gigantic 2 story house in this rundown neigborhood. Sometimes when I would walk to my car to go to school a homeless man would ask me if he could mow the lawn for 10 bucks.

I was kind of freaked out at first but I got used to it, like all the other things in that neighborhood, hookers walking down the street sometimes, drugs, our neighbor getting busted by an army of cops....but we only stayed there a few months. At least I found my news beat in college.

Changing the world with one act of radom kindness. I think the homeless has a lot of pride? thats why they dont be for money?
Bums in my neighbor hood occasionally ask for money.
Oh yea there was this movie called "Persuit of happiness" sounds like that Japanese homeless. Hit dead bottem and raise to the top.

In my place, it ain't really a problem with homeless people, but rather immigrant squatter colonies. They look around for a vacant patch of land, settle there, and start causing trouble to the surrounding areas. They would use their children to ask for money from people (often see them inhaling glue) and they might also contribute to the increase of thefts and break-ins.
Squatter colonies often became drug dens and other forms of social ills. Fortunately, my neighbourhood is safe from them.

Gibson,
I cried at the end of that movie ^^;

3den,
Will have a look one day ^^;

Protocol Snow,
I do see them but not sleeping around on the streets. They usually keep away from the public in tents under bridges etc.

Angelo,
You are the man. Looking forward to meeting you this month.

not surprising as the rent for houses in tokyo is quite high. they are probably homeless because there are good facilities for them, quite safe and they are probably saving money.

that's really nice that you've offered him a cup of tea ^^

same thing with hangmen13...

we have squatter colonies around the metro who occupies vacant lands illegally and those lands are already owned and the titles are already under a individual/group but not all colonies cause trouble in the surrounding area, they're just an eye sore...

squatters send out their kids to ask for money in the streets and there are times that these kids are used by organized crime syndicates.

that's why some people who wants to help the homeless donates to charity institutions.

the rags to riches stories are really inspiration especially to those who almost has nothing and yet they've succeed in life ^^

There are so many homeless people here in the philippines and I think the situation here is worse than that of London. About a year back a homeless person ask me for some money, I gave a small amount and she ranted how cheap I was. geez @_@

These days I only give if I can see that they're doing something to leverage their situation. It's hopeless to help if they don't even care to help themselves.

What BeLe says is a good point, only helping the homeless if they are helping themselves. It annoys me when homeless people expect handouts when they are not even trying to get out of the situation they are in. There is also this homeless man in my area. Spends his days drinking himself to death. And smoking and sleeping on the bench outside the local libary. It's those sorts of homeless people that I can't stand.

Yeah we have a good amount of homeless people where I live. Most of them here are just scum of this earth.(Sorry for being so rude or mean)They come up to you asking for money and most of the time either ill go buy them something to eat or give them a small amount of money like 50c to $1(and sometime I get the ones that dont take my small amount or the food I bought them) because most of them ended up homeless because of a addiction of something and most of them still have that addiction and are trying to get money to fulfill that addiction so thats why i usually buy them something to eat. Whats funny about this report is today I was thinking is there a lot of homeless people in Japan? Kind of weird but it answered my questioned.

In Italy we have a really bad situation. Homeless usually lives around train/bus station and try to make their day but asking some money to the people nearby. Usually italian homeless are quite polite and when they ask some coin they do it in a very good-manner way. When toy give them some ueuros the tahnk you so much...
The problem is another. We have lots of immigrant homeless, especially Gipsy kind. they are so rude and always try took as much money they can from you.
T hey are so tricky, sometimes they try to steal too.
More, they are dungerous to the italian homeless, sometimes tey beat them up when they are in the same zone. Just to put them away in order to take as much money they can...TERRIBLE
Police is always in the way trying to keep them under control and separated but...is quite impossible.

Ah, gotta love homeless japanese people. They realise their situation and try to either live with it and be self-sufficient, or get themselves out of it using their own initiative.
Some are 'proper' homeless in the sense that they are very tanned, have long matted hair and are wearing clothes and shoes made from older clothes and shoes! Just like in the movies!

Homeless people in the UK sometimes dont look homeless at all, they sometimes nag you for money and any homeless person who can afford to smoke loses my sympathy immediately
!
I saw several homeless people on my Japan trips, but they are friendly, tidy and mostly polite. They even take their shoes off when they enter their cardboard houses!

Good on you to give the guy a cuppa tea - i woulda shouted at him! Friendly solutions to something like that would be unexpected to me...

Outside your doorstep?! Wow! Very good of you to give the man a cup of tea. In my area their is only the homeless that Otaku Blue described. I remember once he was asleep on a bus one chair away from me and one of my mates told me he tends to wake up and yell things at people, so it was like sitting next to a ticking time bomb!!

I heard somewhere on the net that sometimes Homeless tend to hang out in manga cafes due to their cheap rates, but that must be pretty uncomfortable.

I tend to see a number of them on State Street; a street in Madison near the Capitol that's fairly merchant heavy with little vehicle traffic. They're always our panhandling with their change-filled cups usually in one of several places along State.

I can't really say they're pro-active in solving their dilemma like those in Japan.

Ok first things first....I have nothing against homeless guys at all & I have some sympathy towards them.

but the thing which shocks me the most is the girl actually asked you for the pound she saw in your hand. If she had said that to me, I wouldnt have given her anything at all.

"Beggers can't be choosers"

just the same as you can't 'DEMAND' charity. charity is free & given when people decide they have something to offer.

aww, so nice of you to offer him a cup of tea (though everyone else have already said that, but ^^) .. there aren't much or any homeless at where i reside, but a lot of very dangerous drunkards hanging around :/

Well, here in Belgium we have some homeless people in the bigger city, but not in our town. They also seem to be concentrated in certain places, usually a big public square or area with many bus stops, and they go about asking some money to every one.

Well, Danny, if you haven't seen many homeless people in Japan, I have. Be it again, concentrated in certain areas. Go to the area around Utsunomiya station in Osaka, and you'll find lots of them, especially towards the evening. I know this, because my hotel was there (it was damn cheap though ;p). Thankfully it was only 5-6 days, and I was away all day to other places (Kyoto,Himeji,...). I must indeed say as well, that they did not ask for money. Even homeless Japanese people are polite :)

First comment by moi! Aww...

Anyways, that's a very interesting tidbit, Danny. You've made me curious about the subject. The hunt for a good english-language tome on Japanese sociology continues!

At any rate, yeah, the situation here in Ireland regarding homelessness is quite bad, particularly in Dublin, where I live, which has a disproportionate amount of homeless people. A good part of it is that once someone becomes homeless here, they're castaways and almost considered unredeemable. Couple that with bureaucratic government programs that aggravate the problem, and things become exacerbated. Of course, what programs there are, from volunteer groups or government, do help some people, but it doesn't seem to be enough, sadly.

I have seen with my own eyes, as a young boy working with for my Auntie in her little food diner. some tramp was digging around in our bins - Obviously we stayed away from him. he had some munch then he was gone. a few mins later a meat truck full of cops pulled up outside & started asking us if we saw him or knew which way he went lol.

that was quite entertaining but sad really as homeless people in Hong Kong are totally disregarded & scorned by society. ever since then I have never seen any homeless sleeping in the streets :( as far as I know the police just round them up & take them to some sort of asylum

sadly to say it is a problem in USA. I see a lot of them while going to work or been in Washington DC. Not as many around my home area or anywhere in state of Maryland, but still there are few.

Wherever you go in here, you're sure to find streetchildren selling flowers. I kinda feel bad, but I try staying away from them too. ^^;

I don't encounter them in my hometown, but when I travel I see them a lot. Some just seem to act homeless and ask for money... and being the nice guy that I am I can never deny them anything :.

Barely any homeless in Finland, not the best country for homeless considering the winter. We do have one regular homeless person, a woman who looks very much like the cat woman in the simpsons, except that instead of cats she carries around loads of teddy bears.

I saw some squatters in front of Excelsior Cafe (kind of like starbucks of Japan) near Ikebukuro station. Mentioning starbucks, why not use internet there instead of internet cafe? It's free!

Once I saw a homeless using his credit card in an ATM here in Tokyo! It seems some of them have just some money, but not enough to rent a home.

Btw, I was wondering... when will you be featured in Bari Bari Value? ;)

You don't have to search too many to find homelees in Spain. There are people of several types, people who are really poor, and live in a corner between cardboards, and the other with drug problem(the lees, for obvious reasons...)or people who ask for money in streets or subway. But some peole can gain more money with this that with a regular job.

This is what Im gonna do in Japan when I move there if I dont make enough money to rent a home or buy a house with the money I get doing doujinshi. I wouldnt mind, though. Its JAPAN!!!! I would sleep in an alley if I had to. JAPAN so rocks!!!!

LOL! So Danny, did you trade your pound for the 50 pence?

Im from Bangladesh living in the Midwest, USA.

Been around homeless people all my life. But really, truely homeless are the ones from third world countries like mine, not anywhere else. IF you see someone homeless, kick him in the balls, and tellem to get a job.

These first world G8 nation SOBs dont know poverty, so no amount of convincing will ever sway me.

Imagine watching a man so hungry that all he can do, is lie on the street and wait for a car to run him over and end his misery, heh, this is true poverty.

Yeah, they're usually standing around the city streets that connects to the highway, while holding a cardboard that asks for money. I feel really bad, but I need money too..., >_< .

Besides going across the bridge to New York City, there are plenty of homeless in New Jersey. I don't pay much attention to them, though. Living here for so long, I kind of know what they're about.

E^d

There are a lot of homeless people here (Edmonton), but I have no pity for most of them. Almost all businesses here are short on workers and there are "Now Hiring" signs everywhere so it's hard to believe someone can't get a job. What bugs me the most is when they come up to you, and you can smell all the drugs they've been doing, and when you don't give them any money they start swearing at you.

Costa Rica has a large number of homeless............huge number!

taiwan have alot...oregon.....have....alot too :3

I think people need to make a definition between the homeless, beggers, and buskers.

Homeless people are well, people who don't have homes to return to. Doesn't necessarily mean they are poor. They could be people that want to escape pressure, or just been evicted from their landlords and can't find a new place to rent and just give up.

Beggers are people that go around asking for money. As some have pointed out above, some do it for free handouts or scamming and may well have homes to go back to, but there's a chance they are genuinely poor.

Buskers are people that perform (mainly music, ie sing, play guitar etc.) for money. Most of these aren't exactly poor and homeless, in fact quite a few i've spoke to busk because they want people to listen/notice for their music as well as for the cash.

Buskers are the only type that i'll probably give my spare change, especially if they a good song or some good music. The beggers are the worst. Seriously in any first world country, the government will bound to have some form to state benefits for the poverty. The money they give might not be enough to give you a home, but it's most certainly will keep you fed from hunger.

For those people from foreign countries? If they walked into the embassy of their originating country, I'm pretty sure they will help them get back to their own country. Unless it's some waring state, then they should seek asylum from the government anyways.

We do have homeless people in canada too, esp in the "china town" area in down town ^^; Singapore used to have them (maybe they still do) but I think the government make begging illegal so as I get older I don't see many of them anymore. Was told that the homeless people often beg for change to do drugs so usually pretend not to understand them when they ask for change :P Also hear on the news sometimes those people attack the old folks too :(

Hello ^_^ *sets up camp*

where i used to live the homeless (hobo) people where smart, they would start fights around christmas so they get put in prison where prisoners get a free christmas dinner :)

Chicago - We have LOTS of homeless people here. Many of them a super-rude, many others are more polite. Unfortunately, the real problem of homelessness here are the folks who just do not want to work-- a lot of them manage to raise a LOT of money by begging. Police have arrested some drunken and disorderly homeless with a few hundred $USD in their pockets! The typical situation here is being approached by someone who has some kind of sad story and "needs help"-- "I'm from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I got stranded here; I'm just trying to get home and need $6.70 for a train ticket." 2 or 3 weeks later, you will see the same person giving the same story to someone else. There are others who just stand around holding out a cup asking for spare change. Some of them sell local newspapers through a program called "Streetwise." They are printed just for homeless people to get work.

London - This was a MAJOR problem in Camden Town near my flat. They liked to sit on the ground, right next to the ATMs so that they could ask for money every time someone made a withdrawal. Two of the homeless guys I saw regularly were always hanging around a flat that was a known crack den (the house eventually got busted by the police).

Rome - Since someone else mentioned the gypsies in Italy, I will have to agree. When I went to Rome for University, I was there only 4 days and a whole family of gypsies formed a wall by locking their arms together, blocking the subway exit. Everyone leaving the subway had to pass through the wall. They were so fast! before I knew it, they stole 40,000 Lire from my pocket (worth about $30 USD if I remember correctly). A tiny, little grandma walking behind me started beating them with her purse-- she made it through without losing anything! XD

Tokyo - I saw almost NO homeless people except for in Ueno Park. They had a whole campsite set up there. They NEVER bother anyone by begging for money or being rude, and police don't really bother them there. They keep to themselves, mostly. There was another campsite along the river-- I saw it from the Shinkansen coming in to Tokyo Station from the Nagoya.

They're a common sight in our region. Poverty's a problem no one can solve like what i said before ;p

Yeah there's loads around where I live.
I saw a lot of homeless in Shinagawa, especially during my late night photography walks. They never bothered me asking for money or threatening to set their dogs on me (unlike in the UK)
There was this one guy in Shinagawa who looked like an ex Yakuza or something (head to toe in traditional tattoo's) and he had bits of cardboard taped to his feet as shoes and things like that, it broke my heart seeing someone like that. I hear the Japanese government doesn't do a lot to help homeless people.

I know, they never ask for money. I wonder how they support themselves. I see them sleeping in the subway stations at night in OSaka especially in Namba station.

The majority of my life I have lived in cities and towns and as such have seen the homeless first hand and have helped them out. Some area's it is really bad such as the metro Detroit area where I used to work and live and it was bad in other locations to such as Toledo Ohio and Miami Florida both of which I have worked in and visited. Where I live at now there is a homeless tent city but its not organized and most who are there are drug addicts and thieves.

At one time in my live I became homeless, this happened after moving to a town that I had never been to and when I got there the first war in Iraq took place in 1990 and the economy turned bad so as a result there was no jobs. I lost everything I had except for a suitcase and a bag of items and if it hadnt been for family a thousand miles away I would have probably ended up dying there.

The homeless in NY are not so friendly... >_<

In my town, Homeless are EVERYWHERE!
