  • Japan claims that they have a 0% homeless population, according to the Japan Times, in 2024, there are only 2820 homeless in the entire. So it’s not exactly 0%, it’s more like .003%. Nevertheless, there are still 1000s of homeless in Japan, and I’m sure a lot go undocumented. I’m in Osaka, which has more homeless than any other city in Japan, and I’m staying in a neighborhood where they call home. Unsurprisingly, this is also considered one of the most dangerous areas in Japan. So, I went there to see for myself how dangerous this neighborhood could be, you’ll be surprised what I found.
    I also ride through one of the craziest red-light districts I’ve ever seen and eat a few tasty foods while in Osaka.
    More to come from the Bike Touring Japan series.

    That's a nice conversation you had there with Usame. Unfortunately, homelessness is a problem in many large cities. The free food distribution is a good initiative. But luckily it is often provided in large cities. Nice to see some life around again. Good job Nick. Thanks and mind birds!

    I went to that area when i was in Osaka. It still felt safe. Much safer than any slum in America.

    What they call Japanese slums is much cleaner than slums in other countries!
    I think this is the first time I've heard you speak so much Japanese. Your Japanese is as good as a Japanese person. It's amazing!
    The Japanese elder is really a legend, and his English is so good! He tells stories that have a magical power that is very attractive!
    Thank you for showing us a different Osaka, super great job! 👍😍🙌

    I don't no Italian well but with my very little competency of it while I tried to learn in French and with a help of googling, I guess that : Mr. Usami tried to say that "One of my Italian friend explains me that my name(Usami) is meaning 'Use Me' in Italian (Usa mi : in this phrase the Italian verb 'usare' which is meaning 'use' in English is transformed to being called 'Usa', as a 3rd imperative use of it and 'mi' is a personal pronouns meaning 'me') so it might be easy to you to remember my name on reminisce when you consider such a coincidence." Quite a kind and benevolent, intelligent and respectable man he is.

      I accidentally got lost there as a woman, at night. Not safe...It is different here as a tall man vs a smaller woman. I've met Nick before. He's a great dude but as a woman you still have to exercise caution. They cleaned that place up a bit since I've been. It was NOT that nice ha ha before.
