Can homeless Japanese set up a tent on a sidewalk in the heart of Tokyo?
What I’ve seen in other countries is that there certainly are homeless, but the attitude is “you go to a shelter or you go to jail”.
Does wonders for keeping visible homeless to a minimum.
- tetris11 3y agoSame in London. You see large groups of them under bridges sometimes, but then a few days later they're all rounded up and just gone. I'd like to believe that they're under Shelter protection, but the cynic in me k ows that they've just been relocated out of the public eye.

There's one weird encampment in some woods next to one of the rivers, in a large park that's on a flood plain; not exactly easy to find or heavily trafficked.

I encountered a homeless person in the CBD of Tokyo, sleeping in the bushes of a (very small) divider between a main road. Almost totally hidden, by those bushes. With enough items to look like they'd been there a while.
