Thanks for watching my exciting new Japan Underworld series. Don't miss PART 1 HERE: czcams.com/video/HDECjSIo7aw/video.html
This cheap hotel is there makes sence but is there hotel like this on the Saitama ken area side for example ?
Either that bridge marking is wrong or you are a lot smaller than I thought 😅
Did you just go there alone? Please, you should have someone accompany you next time.
Love your video's Pearl. You seem to be an amazing person.
@@moritaagishta6190 There’s nothing like this in Saitama. The closest is Minamisenju station in Tokyo.
I once lost a bag containing my passport and cash in the Nishinari area and it was delivered to the police the next day. It seemed to have been delivered by a homeless person in good faith. I asked the officer for his name and address, but he said he left without telling me his name. I hope to be able to thank him someday, but I will leave my comments here.
@Equinox that sucks. Still, in brazil that would be gone in 2 minutes, literally.
Homeless persons always have so good and kind hearts. 💗
Homeless people are generally good hearted but homeless drug addicts, that's a different breed altogether (well all drug addicts actually) no matter where u are. If one those found them, U'll NEVER EVER get your stuff back
@Equinox well it's not like petty crime is nonexistent, just super rare with the way their culture is...but I feel like crime may start to tick up gradually. Times are changing
evil and unfortunate are two different things. i wanna cry reading your story.
Pff… Japans worst slum is like a middle class neighborhood in Brazil. Thats like heaven compared to the worst slum here.
If I literally ever get stopped by a yakuza in Japan I wouldn't be as much as scared as being stopped by any random bimbo in Brazil, that's how safe it is, for me it is almost laughable and really heartwarming to witness how safe Japan is.
As a Japanese, I think it's a very realistic and fun video. Nishinari is the largest slum in western Japan, and many Japanese do not bother to visit. But it's not because it's dangerous, it's just not necessary. It's not even a hidden town.
It is difficult to narrow the gap between rich and poor, but improvement is progressing.
We live in Scotland. From what I've watched it's not a bad area, there are far worse in Scotland. I grew up in one of the areas as a teenage kid. High crime, drugs and attacks on other people. Saying that people in these poorer areas tend to be better towards others than many of the rich I have worked with. The more money they have the more it is about them rather then their neighbours.
Japan has always been a country on my list to visit.
I would prefer areas similar to how I grew up, put money into those areas rather than the usual tourist nonsense
I'm glad that you say the gap is improving/progressing. In the US the gap between rich and poor is growing ever wider, with a tiny percent of the population holding wealth and the MAJORITY of Americans either completely living in poverty or else living in fear of falling down. Our middle class has shrunk to the point where it basically doesn't exist anymore. Especially when it comes to young people - they can't pay they're college debts because good paying jobs are gone, we have a service or gig economy with people earning minimum wage, which isn't a living wage. Young people can't afford to buy houses and many do not even have kids because they can't afford to. And the elite class of government officials only pursue policy that benefits wealthy corporate campaign donors, not the public good, not the needs of the people. There are sociological studies conducted by universities like Stanford showing that this is true -- that political policy reflects the wishes of corporate elites, not the will of the people. And both political parties are complicit, neither on is better than the other.
The only scenario I'd say it is dangerous in is if you're alone and a woman at night.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”

Well Poland is kind of similar, used to look alot like Nishinari, though we never had issues with too much crime. Now its much more modern but you still find places that are just run down.
The most dangerous place in Japan is comparable to our safest place in our country 😂😂😂
I live in northern Japan (20 years) but I gotta say that those ‘slums’ are a paradise compared to the ones I saw in India, Thailand or Indonesia…or even in USA/Canada! The slums in my native Montreal or Toronto are way scarier! …I’ve known some people who’ve ‘disappeared’ on the count of Russian Roulette or other maliciousness… 😢
Exactly. The US or even Canada is not as safe as it is (wrongly) said. (I lived in Montreal...)
Yes yes yes. As an Indonesian i approved
@@rinaldirinaldi-ic7up WKWKWKWKWWK 🤣
Yes yes yes. As a thai i approved
No slums in Toronto
This series is so interesting. People seem to be very friendly, even if they're a little unfiltered. It's a nice history lesson too! Thank you :)
Thank you Jack. I’ll be uploading the newest one soon.
filtered people are the most dangerous people for you wallet.
if you need filtered you shouldn't be working anywhere that deals with vulnerable populations. Also you're living a life that's missing out on authenticity.

Give me your unfiltered.
Absolutely kind, genuine and helpful people. Never judge people by their financial situation or looks.
I have not been to Japan and would love to travel there one day. All I ever see is the people being so kind and welcoming. You going to the biggest slum of Japan and still being greeted with such kindness just shows that Japan as a whole is full of great people. Im sure there are bad people and places as there always is but this video just shows that Japan is on a different level compared to other parts of the world when it comes to respect and kindness.
是非来て欲しいです！

This was a fun video. It seemed much better than what I would have imagined. It had me anxious that you said it was a Yakuza slum though, I hope you take care not to get too involved in showing us
I’m glad that the slum was better than you expect lol. I made a quick stop in Osaka on the way back from filming in Shikoku.
I think she should dive a little deeper. She’s pasty white, with a camera. For all they know, she’s live streaming 🤷♂️ I think that pretty much everyone will show respect. She almost dove right in✌️❤️
@@LondonWater I've been there and walked around and talked to the locals also. Honestly, I always felt safe and everyone was really friendly. Granted, I'm a big white guy. But, genuinely I felt so much safer there than even in some parts of my home country (Australia).
It's pretty wild how some people just have no idea about how potentially dangerous this place could be, if you're not really street savvy. Being a New Yorker, this doesn't look nearly as bad as to what it COULD really be, but I think the appeal of the affordability and easy access to tourist attractions is what's bringing foreigners to the area. I hope Japan will see this as an opportunity to assist these people instead of ignoring them.
I was already creeped out by her last slum dive. She's going to end up locked in some basement somewhere if she isn't' careful.
@@exit1368 Who are you asking?
In NYC and Detroit, they don't enforce the law, in Japan, they really do enforce the law.
The crime rate in this "slum" is probably lower than 99% of American suburbs. Really didn't like the pre-judgement that came with this video.
@@AntonGully - She said "Yakuza" meaning it's controlled by one of the many factions of gokudō. If that is the case, it means they control what goes on there more than law enforcement does. They are a lot smaller than they used to be, but it doesn't mean they don't have their influence. These days they are heavily involved in the porn industry. I don't know of any suburb in the United States they have left off the maps which is a huge clue it's probably a place you don't want to be in after the sun sets.
Compared to the United States, this place is a hundred times safer and cleaner. Whole neighborhoods are senselessly devastated or burned down, or there are wild shootings. The slums in Japan cannot be compared to those in the USA. Western views of a 3,000-year-old culture are always fallacious. The west and its culture left a very negative influence on the culture there. Many Western tourists often have no idea about the culture there in Japan and behave like it, too often hurting the feelings of the Japanese. We in the West should therefore be very cautious and very careful with any judgements.
It is said to be dangerous in Japan just because it is a homeless city, but in reality, Kobe and other cities with yakuza offices are far more dangerous
@@neymar2953ヤクザは一般人には手を出さないので安全ですよ。
むしろヤクザがいるところは抑止力になるので悪い人がいないのでとても安全だったりします。
I agree.
Most tourists (even locals) didn't know about the history of Nishinari (Kamagasaki). Majority of the area are already gentrified (new Hoshino resort was recently built in the area).
Thanks for making this video, I lived in Nishinari and it's not as dangerous as it used to be. Honestly, its history is so rich especially during the early labor social movements in Japan that it's a shame to totally wipe it out of people's collective memories. The homeless people there also don't really bother other people. It's also a crime to beg on the streets so even though they are homeless, many of them still make a decent way of living (collecting cans and bottles, construction, etc.). And Nishinari-ku is quite big. The area where most homeless are found are near Shin-imamiya/Dobutsuen-mae/Tobita area. But the other areas are not bad. Cheap houses and convenient location (most areas are connected to a train station or bus).
西成のような町からは、政治家や資本家は、搾取しにくいので、政治家や資本家は貧乏人の住めない、搾取しやすい町をつくろうとしています。
Wow, I'd like to learn more about Nishinari's history concerning early labor and social movements in Japan.

And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”

As a Clevelander, I kind of figured that compared to our hometowns it was going to seem pretty tame. The gentleman from Nagasaki was very interesting - if you can find him again that would make for a good interview. And your tour guide needs his own channel, he seems very cool. Nice of him to take you around :) Another gem, keep it up!
Thank you Violet. I’d like to go back there and see it again. I was only there for half a day.
I agree with you on the gentlement from Nagasaki. I'd like to know more about generational trauma from the atomic bombs, very interesting, but also very very heartbreaking and disturbing.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him.

ohio: literally worse than the atomic bomb
I love these new traveling journalist style videos. I would like to see more in various topics such as doing groceries, commuting, basic everyday tasks that are unique to Japan or very different in Japan. Maybe some interviews? Keep up the great work Anming!
Thank you Tim. I’m glad you like these documentaries.
Hey! I definitely scoured for your channel.. I'm the girl in the plaid flannel! I had actually never known about this place until you talked to us and I'm definitely glad you did! On the way to the station we saw some really cool wall murals. We were on the way to our next train so we barely even stopped to look around us, but if we did I'm sure we would have noticed something! Thank you for teaching us about it!🥰
Wow, that’s so cool Emma. So it was you that I met on the street. I should have given you a card. Nice to meet you. I hope you enjoyed Nara and Osaka.
You transitioned so well from your 'hidden camera' style language video to this travel genre. Way better than some others that I've seen who have been doing it for years. Looking forward to seeing more! 😃
Thank you. Lol but I’ve never used a hidden camera. I know what you mean though. This is a deviation from the language reaction videos.
with your knowledge of the language and culture this channel has unlimited potential! i love the different aspects of Japan.
Thank you very much!
We stayed at an Airbnb place in Nishinari back in 2019. We didn't know about it's reputation. We just found out when we walked the streets and saw a lot of homeless people. They were very friendly. No sign of danger even when we walked at night. It's a peaceful community based on my experience.

Thank you so much for bringing a camera to this area to give them your platform. Your friend you made and the people you greeted all seemed so friendly and courteous. I really hope that this will help them get the proper assistance so they can all have basic needs met. I really hope they are not all homeless. They're all such nice people.
Thank you Anming for another tour to show us another Japanese slum. I’m really glad that the people you met in this area were a lot more nicer compared to that gentleman from the first area & that you made unexpected friends which is really great. Super sweet that your husband was just messaging you for your safety. I am from a ghetto area in Los Angeles so I know I have seen my shares of interesting stories happening in my area though, it has gotten better here & there past couple of years. For sure those areas look really tamed compared to where I live at in the States. Nice touch in letting foreign tourists about this place that they mostly have no idea about
Thank you for watching Katrina. And thank you for sharing your story. I liked talking to these guys a lot more than the guy in the last video.
Thanks for bringing us and showing us this place. They have such great hospitality.
Thank you for watching Kendrick. I always appreciate your comments.
This video is incredible ! I loved to see this side of Japan. Also, despite it's history, the kindness and openness of so many residents is an incredible reminder that everyone is just trying to get by one way or another.
I love how open, communicative, friendly and kind you interact with people and how everyone is like that to you too ❤
What a great piece of journalism. Well done! 🎉
You're developing into a documentarian, with history involved, which I think is very interesting in itself and intriguing in what you show us. Japan at another level of observation. Do keep this up. Robert, UK.
Thank you Robert. I really enjoy talking about new places. I've always wanted to introduce new places on this channel.
I think these kinds of places with bad reputations are interesting. I lived many years in the heart of what is considered basically the ghetto or the wrong side of the tracks. Lots of gangs, and crime. I've heard so many bombs go off that I don't even react to one anymore. I was never scared. The same with my brother who lives in a house that was bombed, raided and shot at. Being afraid is a valid emotion, but it's also pointless. Nishinari is propably safer than most places around the world. You still need to be weary of your surroundings, especially at night. But that goes to every place. Just be observant of your surroundings and be smart and you'll be safe, regardless if it's downtown Detroit or Nishinari or the suburbs of Stockholm.
These documentary style videos really show the real side of Japan and are important. Stay safe and give Tommy a hug, poor guy has been worried sick.
I’m glad that these videos are well received. I think this is a side of Japan more people should know about.
Thank you for sharing so much of the culture and surroundings. Stay safe out there!
This was another great video. It did a good job of dispelling some of the stigma has by simply seeing first hand account of folks in the area. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much. I filmed another video in Yokohama that will be finished soon.
Hi. I have visited Osaka 3 times already and I always stayed close to Shin-Imamyia station. Never had any issues with hotels and never felt scared (or even feared) or sensed any lack of safety in the area. It is close to Abeno Harukas, has lots of train and subway options and it's barely 45 minutes away from KIX. Yes, I have seen homeless people (and in other cities in Japan) but they never posed a threat. I believe that foreign are just seeing these advantages and don't really care about the neighborhood's fame from (a distant it seems) the past.
I was in Osaka just in January and never knew about this place. I found most people extremely courteous and they treat foreigners well. I also noticed that many people were dressed in pretty worn and old clothes. Only in the shopping areas were people dressed up. Japan is truly somewhere to visit. Thanks for showing this side of Japan and kudos to you for learning the language!💯💪🙏

A large news organization just posted their own vide about this, and I can say your video quality brings a much more personal sense of the situation there.
Anming makes another journey into the unseen world of Japan's homeless, but this time in Osaka. As usual your attitude and style combined with your proficiency in Japanese, cause people to willing interact with you. Thus you are able to gain access to a world that most people simply don't notice. As you indicated it is not really hidden, but the average tourist would walk past it not realizing what they are actually seeing. I only spent a couple days in Osaka and I may have been one of oblivious tourists who didn't comprehend, what they were really seeing. Quite bluntly hidden in plain sight. Your ability to interpret what you are viewing and learning about an issue that most cities and governments never really want to confront, and definitely don't advertise.
Thanks for this peak behind the curtain of another aspect of life in Japan.
Thank you so much Jim. I spent half a day here after a big filming trip to Shikoku. I’m glad I stopped by because I really learned a lot. Like you I’ve been to Osaka before and never heard of this place. It was eye-opening for sure.
For a slum area it still looks pretty good. Sweden has some slum areas, but they are filled with crime and drugs (it's also a no go zone), so I usually do not recommend tourists to go there for their own safety.
But I'm surprised they are so friendly in Japan in the slums.
Your videos are amazing. I really like the raw feeling when you show a place. Not all of the places are perfect. Real people living in real places. Very cool. Thank you.
Great content. Thanks for this eye-opening video. Appreciate seeing all aspects of Japan.

Thank you for another excellent video. I recently viewed a youtube video concerning Japan’s ‘evaporated’ people. This area you feature is where many disappear to. Cost of living is the attraction. I think with more tourists visiting that area prices will rise and it will become gentrified leading to economic/social difficulties for those living there.
Loving these types of videos. Very enlightening
I’m glad that you appreciate this video.
I always look forward to your videos & this was a very informative video! So sweet how worried Tommy was for your safety!!
Yeah he didn’t really want me to go there.
Cool videos
It's interesting to see another perspective of Japan. Maybe you could visit historical place next. Just a suggestion 🙂
Glad you liked this video. I have another one filmed to add to this series.
Thank you Auntie for keeping everybody safe❤
Try to walk around in one of the slums in the USA and you will see the level of real dangerous situations you can get into in the slums of the USA. I was mugged and robbed in Chicago when I was a college student there.
I lived in this area near Hanazonocho Station for 1.5 years while studying in Osaka. while i heard people shouting and agruing outside almost daily, i never felt unsafe walking around there. people there are super nice, especially if you speak a bit japanese they're really warm and welcoming. they dont judge you as well. be kind and they be even kinder to you
My wife is Japanese- we were laughing at how safe it looked compared to our home in Los Angeles. Maybe we will take a detour there on our next Japan trip to gauge the sketch factor.
Yeah it doesn’t event compare to how the US is. No guns and very little drug use.
The bums in LA are mostly on drugs and crazy. Stay safe and keep away from the bums. Don't feed the bums.
As a Texan I cannot comprehend why anybody would want to live in LA.... I have my own land and can do my own hunting if needed to. I do not depend on trucks for anything if they stop one day.

I have never seen anything like this when visiting Japan. My son lives in Osaka and told me of the homeless. As a tourist, didn’t believe him. Eye opening. It makes one realize all countries have this issue. I’ll share these videos with my 92 yr old mom, who originally immigrated from Tokyo I 1952. We talked of your first video. She was in disbelief.

Those slums in Japan are nothing compared to places like Tepito in Mexico City.
Another great experience. You have so much video. A collection to learn real Japanese. Thank you.
Thank you again for amazing contents!
Thank you for watching Bernard.
It's great to see someone showing real people who struggle in Japan. It seems that asia in general makes little provision for the elderly, retired people. I suspect that it's expected that their children will provide but often that's not an option.
Although I'm enjoying the content don't put yourself in danger for us.
It's actually common that once you "retire" from your career that you take up "silver" jobs, which could be as simple as sweeping parks or working as a crossing guard to taking up simple office jobs. This is a worrying trend for many because "careers" promised to set you up for a good retirement.
Thank you for watching. I’m glad that you appreciate this more real version of Japan. Don’t worry, I never felt like I was in danger during the filming of these videos.
@@SherrifOfNottingham Thank you for that information. My cousin worked for a stock market investment company some years ago in the UK. He went to Japan to work for about 7 years. His job was to bring computers into the Japanese stock market but ultimately he was cutting staff. He said redundancy was an unknown concept to most and they looked on being 'let go' was their failure. It was very sad.
@@OrientalPearl Thank you for replying. Your 'new style' videos are so informative. My cousin worked in Tokyo for some years. He said that the formalities and different expectations between the men and women were really hard to adapt to. He learnt some Japanese, before he went, from a Japanese woman, so when he arrived his coworkers thought he was effeminate. He quickly adjusted because that misconception cost him business at first. He found the treatment of women harsh at times and never felt entirely comfortable with his female staff.
We tend to brand them as life failures, but when I look at them they seem to be enjoying life. I realized that the definition of happiness is not having a lot of money or a house.
Material items aren’t that important I have a house and have felt unhappy as other family members have three or four houses and earn lots more then me but understanding that there is more to life then assets has made me feel much better and I’m more happy then them I reckon
Hey Anming thank you for showing us around, much appreciated and this video restored some confidence in me to cut some slack to strangers, you have a big heart Anming, I would be very cautious like a scardy cat from people that I don't know in the slums.........

holy shit your vids just keep getting better! not that I'm surprised it's just that I love videos like this they're more genuine, which is really all your videos are very genuine, but the reaction stuff gets old and so seeing a real side of everything and you being in situations where you it really is a true genuine reaction, not going to like a food market, and then they just real surprised these type of videos I love but just to be clear I love all your videos.

I live inside this Nishinari district and I can feel that the safety is definitely better than 20 years ago. I can assert that this district is even safer than most of the cities in India as I visited there last year.The Osaka government really made effort to improve the safety of the Airin area (the most dangerous area) which resulted in the increase of accommodations for foreign tourists.
Great video as always !
How have i never seen this channel before?? really enjoyed.
SHE'S BACK🌍💯I LOVE ORIENTAL PEARL! GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS 💯💯🌍
Where did I go? Lol
@@OrientalPearl Lmao back on CZcams with another vid I mean 😂😭
Wow I remember living across the road from Nishinari and I never noticed it was a slum. I'm so used to seeing tents and piles of garbage in San Francisco that I thought nothing of it... On the bright side, at least Nishinari doesn't smell like weed everywhere?
It’s really a surprising video. Thank you for sharing this
There’s something about watching your cutsie “I speak Japanese” videos Vs. a nice video like this.. Where you interact with the struggling people. Poor people are where it’s at! In any city! TY for the video! I love it!
Hi Anming! Thank you for showing us this side of Japan. Great video! Idk if it was just in my area, but my tenchou and my other managers prohibited me from saying the word yakuza. So we say "yakyak". They just told us, international students, that someone might hear us talking about the yakuzas or yakuzas might hear us. Please be careful! I know your camera is like a gun to them that they won't do anything to harm you as it is being recorded. But I still want you to be careful! Thanks again for sharing this video! 💖 God bless you!
Japanese CZcamsrs are sensitive about that word. Foreign CZcamsrs use it pretty freely.
Thank you for exploring the streets of Nishinari. Its one of the most dangerous places in Japan, definitely not a night city to go alone but during the day its not that bad you will see friendly faces almost everywhere. 5:58 That park (Haginochayaminami or Triangle Park) is one of the greater areas in Nishinari, that guy was definitely a good person bringing you there to meet new people. it's pretty close to where I worked in Abeno and honestly it never gave me bad vibes in general. Glad you could spread information about Japans ups and downs :)
Thank you so much for watching. It’s awesome to hear from you since you’re familiar with the area. I didn’t stay until nighttime. I wonder what it’s like then.
@@OrientalPearl Sometimes that park will hold events like local concerts during festivals and it's awesome around then, but any other night it's empty with a few homeless people sleeping in the open sober or drunk. During covid a lot of tents ended up being pitched inside the park so it's nice to see it looking better already that's for sure. It's also one of the safest spots in Nishinari ward since police officers patrol around that park quite often making it a haven for the community, anywhere else and its definitely not safe from what I was told from locals. Overall though I spent most of my time there during daylight hours and have found the nicest people who want to drink and chat with just about anyone.
I'm staying here in Nishinari for a long period and I'm going out at any time of the night. At first I was wary because of the reputation but now I just don't understand. I never saw anything fishy and I would go at 2am to the konbini without a second thought. I see young women and families walking around after dark as well.
I'm staying there because it's cheaper since no japanese want to be here, I guess most tourist does as well because it's more likely way safer than where we came from. I mean, who is scared of homeless people?
Is that a second triangle park? I've been to Osaka and walked through Nishinari, but when someone says Triangle park I think of the one just north of Dotonbori where the small statue of liberty is. Perhaps there are multiple Triangle parks!
@@nameisthename25 Homeless people are much more dangerous elsewhere, but I agree, I have stayed there and always felt safe even walking around at night. I stayed at Hotel Toyo, and who can complain about a private room with aircon for less than $20 a night? I suppose that's a "fancy" hostel by Shin-Imamiya standards though hahaha. I loved it. If you're staying there, I hope you check out Travellers bar/Osaka tacos and Bar groovy. Say hi to Shota and Wataru respectively for me ;)
These videos are very interesting it’s great to see the other side of life in Japan.
Thank you Robert.
I am a Japanese woman. Thank you for introducing Japan to me! I don't go to Nishinari because I live in eastern Japan, but if I had to, I would walk around this city at night without fear at all.
In the past, there were dangerous areas not only in Nishinari but also in Tokyo and Yokohama. Nowadays, there is almost no danger anywhere in Japan.
However, exceptions can occur anywhere. Even if it is a quiet residential area. Please be careful when you travel.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”
(2:136 / Translated by Community)

The man wearing the NYC jacket whose first instinct upon seeing you was asking to be friends and offering to show you around the area deserves to be protected at all costs!
The Nishinari Airin area has become much safer than it used to be. This is because Osaka has made every effort to improve public safety in this area. Even now, there are a lot of strange people in the Airin area, but they rarely cause problems or get involved in incidents. Even now, some people in Japan have the impression that the Airin district is unsafe, but now many Japanese youtubers gather and introduce the townscape of the district and it is a sacred place to visit popular shops.
Another great video / documentary. Great research , great eye on the spot. Statue of Liberty Graffiti at 5:30. You are rightfully cautious accessing the situation with some risk. You were rewarded for your risk. Its not surprising though. Japan's economy is very economic driven by tourism; especially for people short on work or money. To be honest, drugs are the main killer for the USA and other countries right now. Very appreciative of your videos.
I’m glad you liked it. I enjoy researching these places. I always learn a lot.
Thanks for sharing. It’s nice to see the other side of japan.
Thank you for watching! I’m glad to show more than just the touristy stuff.
i'm japanese
in the past, there were many homeless people in nishinari.
but now there are various forms of support available,
and anyone who seeks it can escape from that way of life.
most of them often choose to live that way themselves
why would they?
@@rayoscrost6062They already don't have families, jobs, friends in the you say normal world. So I guess its more comfortable with loads of people like themselves around.
Very interesting! Many thanks :)
best content on the tubes. as always Anming
Thank you so much!
love your openness anming!!! go you
Walk through the worst area in Frisco and you’ll be robbed or dead. Crazy how nice Japan really is.
日本の人気観光地ばかりではなく、こういった場所を紹介するのも良いですね。
応援してくれて、ありがとうございます。日本の様々なところを紹介したいと思います。
Love your content
i like how u speak and act politely with everyone, in minami senju and in here also, no wonder u are treated respectly also, and that dude who guide u also is a very nice guy, purely want to show u around maybe as his own social responsibility as the local to clean shin sekai image to tourists.
is the place i frequently stay at before pandemic when i have job in osaka.
the area nearby shin imamiya/ doubutsuen mae station is not so bad, the hostel u shown is crayzee cheap,but the one priced 2000en above is quite nice,the only downside for me is shared bathroom/toilet,which aint so bad depending on the hotel as long as its on the same level.theres a hotel which has bathroom only at ground lvl which is inconvenient.
love tamade supermarket thats cheap and open 24hrs near imaike tram station. the people is quite warm and friendly too. eventho the homeless people is alot but they are generally harmless, but for sure u need to not be too comfortable.
the rental for house here is also very cheap by my gf whos a osakan sternly told me not to(eventho she didnt live with me) so ill listen to her warning as a local.
havent stay here recently mainly because i rather stay at hotel near my gf,else it is my go to place.
also the metro serve 2 lines,1 of it is midosuji which is primary line in osaka. and u can go everywhere from shin imamiya , like to kyoto and nara ,and also 1 direct line to airport so is a perfect place to stay for tourist.
Great content, thanks
Thank you Larry.
This is the reason I love living in Japan.
I feel very safe everywhere I go.
Thank you for this interesting video.
Good job on your video
This is a great awereness
It's awsome that you let us take a look at not so nice and touristy places in Japan.
Being the biggest slum in Japan, I expected it to look much worse
Great to see that not only were able to walk alone through Nishinari, but also nbe friendly welcomed by some of the of the people who actually live there.
Thank you Michael. I’m happy that people get to see outside of just the touristy side of Japan.
Very interesting, definitely safer looking than many place here stateside.
I came here today after seeing your newest video that you just posted today as I had not seen this one yet. I am not sure what shocked me more .... the way people live there or the fact that you are shorter than 1,5 meters 0:40. I would have estimated you to be between 1,65 to 1,70 mtrs. This shows how you are coming out big 😉with your videos 😂😂...keep em coming.
Very interesting video! I like to see this kind of video which show the other side of Japan. Thanks.
I’m glad you like it because I filmed another one recently.
