Why Japan's Homeless are Different from North America's

By Plicatus EN in Homelessness & Slums 1052 views 16th January 2020 Video Duration: 00:06:26

One day while walking around Shinjuku, a major hub for government and business in Tokyo, Japan, I noticed a shelter built by a homeless man. It looked semi-permanent, but more importantly, had solar panels on it. I thought this was very different than the homeless I encountered in my former city of Vancouver, Canada, so I started to investigate homelessness in Japan.
