Your “slum” area is very clean. I wish we have an area like that in California especially for the veterans.

[@edwardfletcher7790]

The biggest difference is there's no endemic drug problem in Japan. Alcohol in Japan is the same price as soft drinks/Coca cola/Soda pop. Hard drugs turn people into crazed animals ☹️

[@mattfontana]

they dont have 3rd worlders coming in millions or useless arabs , very lucky

[@jackiejeffries308]

Yes very clean

[@DavidSumeg-angDavid]

And their is no Zombies roaming around

[@jdediosxx]

It's the people who should work for themselves to be clean first 😅

[@Zergcerebrates]

That is hardly a “slum” when you compare it to the real slums in India and the Skid Row in Los Angeles

[@yindyamarra]

Those slums are spotless

[@cancel.lgbtq.6892]

Even a slum in Japan looks 100x better than slums here in U.S. Our slums looked like 3rd world country here lol.

[@DavidSumeg-angDavid]

And thousand zombies and walking Dead😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ClaroKirari]

それでも平和なんですよね

[@rolandomichel2070]

Japan just does Everything better... even Slums!

[@Agent2090]

I like the way you speak Japanese. It's very easy to understand and pick out words to learn.

[@lukedardo9406]

Crazy that your content is not popular yet. Keep it up, im gonna always comment your videos to get the algorithm going. Ps: I love the fact that you speak slowly and spell words clearly, is very useful for people like me to learn japanese

[@vickythesupermom6728]

Wow amazing, slums but very clean.

[@KeilandWalk]

Yeah👺🖤

[@dks8585]

My absolute favorite „walking through japan“ account. Keep it going, your work will be worth it!

[@chinoyhealingfoodstravels8888]

Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸. The area doesn’t look bad at all. The cleanest neighborhood so far compared to the homeless area in Los Angeles.

[@raydiane1]

That is a slum?!?! It looks so clean compared to Some cities in the USA. The homeless are so well behaved and organized. I a, impressed.

[@DavidSumeg-angDavid]

PHILADELPHIA THE LAND OF THE WALKING DEAD ZOMBIES...

[@ryufight7987]

Lol, even the slums look like good neighborhoods. I have never seen a slum/ghetto seen this clean and taken care of

[@mjl5497]

Insightful watch and appreciate your thoughtful commentary/subtitles 🙏

[@WhiteDragon689]

Sometimes people fall on hard times. That area is very clean. You should see american slums where the police do not go in unless heavily armed and for short times only.

[@DavidSumeg-angDavid]

Absulotly not, the police were afraid of the WALKING DEAD ZOMBIES ROAMING AROUND😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ajikpajik9331]

Interesting channel with great narration. So glad i was recommended this vid.

[@priscilamoraleda3851]

This is the cleanest slums compare to other countries.

[@KeilandWalk]

YEAHHH

[@mar_x686]

It looks clean as a slum but looks so lonely. Where are the people and shops..looks sad😢.

[@KeilandWalk]

Not many there are now..

[@candice278]

wow!!japan is really clean place..if it is a place for homeless people,its still clean and also they supported by their goverment,and still they are not abondoned.their slum area is different in other slum area in differebt countries.

[@JJMClark]

Really very good. Hope your channel gains traction. Thank you for speaking slowly and for the subtitles.

[@KeilandWalk]

Thank u👺😍👺

[@GlompyVR]

Very interesting stuff. A side of japan iv never seen, and yet i would still be thrilled to live there.

[@KeilandWalk]

Yeah😱😱😱

[@freeworld88888]

it is look like a luxury hotel in india and in LA town down

[@arturrizzato1034]

Very good material! Thanks for the history

[@jonathan-qs1xd]

cool video thanks . I became interested in San'ya because of Ashita no Joe so it was cool to see the statue!

[@garyclayton3399]

I learned a lot from your fine video . Due to the high costs of living there are more and more homeless people all around the world my friends . The work place also has become more automated , leading to not needing to higher people to do the work . Companies face higher costs every year and this leads them to replace us all at the drop of a hat in order to meet the customers need in away to remain completive and pay investors . Today they are the homeless , but the next day it could be anyone of us living a life that we did not plan for .

[@WANDERER0070]

Thnx for english subtitles,Im learning Japanes this way,, eigo ga ,jimaku arigatou gozaimashita

[@edwardfletcher7790]

If you have an old Android phone or tablet, there's tonnes of great free Japanese Language apps. If you run the phone/tablet in Airplane mode after you've installed the apps the battery will last 5x longer and there'll be no ads to bother you either. My young son is learning Japanese and Maths on a 10yo Samsung Tablet I got from a Charity shop for $20. Even an old device can be very useful as long as it runs Android 5 or better. Watching NHK World on KZbin is also helpful for general knowledge about Japan. I hope this is helpful to you 👍

[@cyaNshibuya3112]

really informative stream. thanks so much. subscribed. i came over from your tiktoc channel...which i love!) 👍🏻👍🏻arigato.

[@davidclaro152]

Actually, these “slums” are like Beverly Hills compared with those from other parts around the world.

[@KeilandWalk]

Hahaha👺

[@vincentgraffeo9030]

Great narration and great subtitles.

[@emilieaoki2693]

U r really a good gave example and how , do ,and anything wow u r good really thank u very much and learner fr ,u thank u ❤❤❤

[@KeilandWalk]

Thank you too!🖤

[@yvonnehawkins9389]

For a slum it looks clean

[@robertatchison9948]

It looks very clean . Thanks for the tip if I want to visit Japan For cheap hotels and restaurants in Tokyo.

[@vickilindberg6336]

They work. If course they work, it's Japan. Our Homeless in Minneapolis pan handle in the grocery store parking lot near a fast food restaurant that starts pay at $17 hour plus meals & uniforms & can't find enough employees. Cultural differences.

[@Megamibunny]

Thing is, in the USA if you go to jail, that’s a death sentence for jobs. So even if someone applied with a record, they would get turned down if the restaurant had a strict background check. My friend tried to get a job for 7 years with a record and only managed to work at Walmart then fired in a year because they went to a funeral (which was approved by their boss.) So you can’t put everyone in the same boat .

[@gordonbgraham]

@@Megamibunny The same thing if you have a criminal record in Japan. They'll even kick you out of university...No job, no education

[@AnnYoung-hf9oo]

Just curious, why is it so quiet, not many people walking around. Thanks for show-casing this district, but it doesn't seem like a homeless area at all.

[@GugureSux]

Because this is Japan. That's all you need to know.

[@danf.medina825]

[@ddnn974]

There are plenty of the blue tents on the moat area of Osaka Castle. You will see them if you take a boat trip around the castle

[@carlosrobertodolago]

Awe your channel brow.

[@edwardfletcher7790]

It's very sad that these older Men don't have families to look after them ☹️ It's so typical though, that even the slums in Japan are tidy and well organized 🥹 The government needs to pay more attention to cheap housing and services for the poor, elderly, ill and disabled. Thank you for making this video to highlight the difficulties these people are facing...

[@LamoonMan]

Your slum is so clean.

[@KeilandWalk]

Compare to another country😆

[@WANDERER0070]

5:55 min I saw that Ghibli house from my hotel few years back and was wondering if its abandoned or haunted 😂

[@francruz5824]

Same on you for publishing this. It’s not really a “Slum” as we know it.😡

[@disnasenanayake9890]

Even slum it shows japanes cleanliness and quality

[@ShadowPuppet3001]

Great video, am disabled and looking to rent a place like that in Japan, do you know of a website or listing that I can get an affordable apartment in Japan, again amazing video, thanks for the help 🎉🎉❤❤

[@user-eq2dh7fm1m]

相互条約という国際法で、あなたの国で日本人の障碍者が福祉を受けられるなら、あなたは日本での行政サービスを得ることができます。詳しくはまず、あなたの国の障害者サービスを確認してください。

[@apolo_judo_club]

I will go to Tokio in May, can I meet you?

[@burnhardleeyow]

Is it safe for me as a foreigner to visit Sanya? I wanna try to visist this Aug

[@GugureSux]

Japan is one of the safest countries in the world.

[@briannahgoodwin4182]

Slum??!!!!! **Laughs in baltimore** 🤣🤣

[@DavidSumeg-angDavid]

And Philadelphia the land of horror, the WALKING DEAD ZOMBIES.. I hope this will not happen in JAPAN..

[@user-bp4ef3pn7b]

japan is really a good country.thats because of their tradational.

[@mizaelesquig6253]

slum but clean .. camp site 😊😊😊

[@KeilandWalk]

Yeah😆

[@Megamibunny]

Friend wanted to know if money was not a problem would it be easier to clean up the slums and help their way of life?

[@sadiqsaid9972]

It is wrong to call the area as slum. People may me labourers. Here the poor receive all sort of social grants, area is extraordinary neat and well maintained, cannot, and I repeat, be called a slum. Thanks for the video. Regards from Oman, 18.5.2024

[@KeilandWalk]

THX too!

[@duncancampbell9490]

Here in the UK slums look far worse.... but we have an aging population too !

[@KeilandWalk]

Sad😥😥😥

[@mecanitor]

How ridiculous that there are people living on the streets, when Japan is full of abandoned houses and even entire abandoned towns.

[@GugureSux]

Happens all around the world, even in Europe nowadays. Lots of "cheap", vacant housing in the remote areas. But since most if not all services have left as well, living in such far away regions becomes a hassle of its own, especially without a car of your own.

[@user-du2sw4sj1i]

[@goodowl7185]

It doesn’t look like a slum at all

[@priscilamoraleda3851]

Your slums is better than here in CA

Parang di nman slum ang linis eh

[@wr7416]

生活保護とか申請できない（してない）ようにみえるけど戸籍とかないのかな、こういう人たち。 数十年前に比べて明らかにホームレス減りましたよね。高架下とかもそうですけど。

[@jungwapo1222]

are you drunk bro 😅

[@billylukman3839]

He speak slowly

[@GugureSux]

The guy walks straight and stable, speaks and articulates clearly, and makes videos in the middle of the day. What on Earth makes you accuse him of being "drunk"?? You should be taught some manners.
