Homeless in Japan Is Different
In this video, I take you beyond the postcard version of Tokyo that most people are familiar with. This is a side of the city that rarely shows up in travel videos or social media. I spend time with people experiencing homelessness and get a closer look at how they live, how they survive day to day, and how easily they are overlooked in a city full of movement and noise. This video is not about shock value or stereotypes. It is about people, quiet moments, and realities that exist alongside the Tokyo everyone sees.
