I think most of the people when they are in Tokyo just want to see the great templs and shrines in the middle of this super modern metropolis, but they think Japan is a rich country so they will never see many poor people in this country. Most of the people don't know about the homeless life in this city. You can find them in many big public parks living in tents, they are not really unemployed, some of them go to work wearing suits, some of them are living like this 'cause in this city is too expensive to get your own place, some of them are really poor and this is their only way to survive here. I can tell you they are not dangerous, I met many argentinians who had no place to stay or no money to pay a hotel when the soccer worldcup and these people gave them a place to stay, offered them food also. Why in the park and not in other place? 'Cause in the park you have toilets and you can get water, wash yourself, they live as they can. Not all is good for them, winters are very hard in Japan, so many times you hear about some homeless dead because of the cold temperatures.
Remember not just rich people is living here, remember not to be able to have a place doesn't mean you are a thief or you are bad, and remember no one has the righ to treat them as less human beins just 'cause they are living like that.
