The Japanese have a long history and a rich, unique and diverse culture. Japan is one of the few modern "western" countries that has kept it's homogeneity and core culture intact. A fact envied and applauded in equal measure by so many in the West that have watched helplessly as successive governments have dragged them into a dark, dangerous abyss of multiculturalism and multiracialism. The Japanese are gentle, honourable people, but woe betide anyone who does not recognise or understand the warrior that runs deep in every true Japanese heart and soul.

But we do have areas called “Dowa chiku” 同和地区 and buraku villages(only southward from Kanto region). These places have heavy yakuza presence and are usually the SAFEST places in Japan in terms of petty crimes. Please dont compare these places with the so called “slums” in other countries.

krunkle There isn’t an equivalent - a slum implies a concentration of old dilapidated or make shift structures where poor people live. They don’t exist here, so there isn’t an equivalent. I have lived in Japan for 15 years, traveled to 43 of its 47 prefectures, and am fluent. It seems to me that this anthropologist and reporter were just trying to get views. Yakuza aren’t dangerous to most people of you don’t own them money or insult them.

I remember checking into a hostel in Osaka and the girl behind the desk giving us a little map with a “slum” area marked and telling us to avoid it. Naturally we threw our bags in the room and went straight there to find some bars. Met probably the friendliest people of the whole trip!

No one can say that the yakuza aren’t the most organised criminals I mean having them around makes the area safer from people who want to act stupid they will sort them out and keep the place tidy

@@blablabla983 You are really lucky to live in Norway. You guys also have a lot fewer homeless because you have social safety nets that keep people from being bankrupted by medical expenses. You provide comfortable and dignified lives for the disabled. The system reflects a society where people have a sense of responsibility toward each other, and that government therefore has a responsibility to care for communities. That's something Norway has in common with Japan. It's the opposite in America. You can become homeless for 20 different reasons that aren't your fault, but if you ask for help, people tell you to quit being lazy and get a job. They think you're to blame for being homeless because you were lazy or made bad decisions. It's twisted because 40% of homeless people in America are disabled, and disability assistance is a joke. Honestly, that surprised me about Japan though. I had no idea anyone in the world would ever choose to be homeless, because I'm used to how Americans talk about the issue and blame the victims. But for Japan, it makes a weird kind of sense. I can easily see some salaryman getting fired and choosing to live on the street because he's too ashamed to fill out the welfare forms. It still sounds insane to me, but it also seems like a pretty Japanese thing to do. But that just reinforces my belief in the effectiveness of social safety nets. Japan has apparently been so successful at eliminating homelessness that just about the only way to be homeless in Japan is to do so on purpose and actively refuse government help. Thanks for teaching me something new!

@@saifis your probably right. Theres still a lot of youtube stuff about them but i havent paid attention to upload dates. I would try and track them down if i ever went there just because its so ridiculous.

I one day aspire to live in an area as clean and orderly as that slum

💙💚🧡💛 No offense Japan, but this is cleanest god damn looking slum I've ever seen in my life. 1 guy sleeping on a bench = slum 💙💚🧡💛

that slum looks like a middle class area in usa lmao

Japan looks like a cool place to live. Looks so god damn clean also.

I would happily live in this slum.

in America we'd just say criminal

I have no intention of defending the mafia, but in Japan, when I belong to the mafia, I first learn "cleaning" and "greeting". Because the Mafia is also a member of the community, those who can't greet you are useless. It's embarrassing to see a great mafia man go to the store and say, "Your young man at your place can't greet you."

Yakuza is a type of a gang you'd feel safe around but you would not want to cross them and fuck with them in anyway.

amazing

Very clean 👍

You beat me to it. It's the cleanest "slum"/"ghetto" I've EVER seen!!

Rough area?.. clearly has seen a council estate in the UK 🤣

The thumbnail made me want to have a bit of a pewk, but I'm really glad I watched the clip. Nice one!

wow! lovely stock standard Honda S2000. nice!

The Yakuza are actually pretty cool. They can be pretty kind too unless you piss them off. My 2 year stay in America was completely different lol.

I heard this same thing from a number of travelers. Recognize boundaries (behavior) and be respectful and you are shown the same. I can't get over how clean things are. Send them to my town for a spell, please :p

I was told similar things about some parts of Osaka by my Korean friends..umm i come from medway,Kent..that shit was paradise compared to Gillingham 😂 never felt in danger

Japan's slum is clean af
