Some major Japanese cities have a slum district or skid row. Osaka has one of the biggest in Japan. In this video, I walked through parts of Osaka's Nishinari district where the Airin Labor Welfare Center and many day laborers, welfare recipients, and homeless are. Recently, these areas have transformed from predominantly day laborers towns to welfare towns, but homelessness and other problems still exist.
This area of town is generally referred to as Nishinari District and nicknamed 'Deep' Osaka because of its colorful past, homeless, yakuza headquarters, red-light district, and for having 24 riots, the most recent one in 2008.
