It is easy to moan about rainy season, but it’s really not that bad when you can go home, get shelter and dry off. Something that Tokyo’s surprisingly large number of homeless obviously can’t do; a population that continues to grow, yet still gets barely any coverage.
Meaning who these people are, and how they got there, seems to be of little importance, even though it’s a journey that surely shouldn’t be necessary.

Sad, but the same in most countries.
NihonBurp says
Yep definitely sad, it seems most “1st world” countries try to sweep these people under the carpet
Lee says
Yeah, unfortunately Japan is not much different in that way…

Today we fed the homeless in Kobe and I was reminded of the homeless in Tokyo too.. Everytime I go pass shinjuku I’m amazed at the number of homeless.. Yes I know there are many homeless around the world.. But that doesn’t mean we should be apathetic to their needs.. We need to do more to help them…
Lee says
We do. Sounds like you are already doing your bit though. Good on you.
