  • Yokoso! Kotobuki e.(Welcome to Kotobuki!) Though there are only Japanese pages, this site is fantastic and quite comprehensive. If you visited the site, you would not need to read my pages at all :-)
  • KALABAW NO KAI This is a volunteer group that supports immigrant workers in Kotobuki.
  • Lighthouse Church This church was founded by Mr Samuel McGeown, who was born at Belfast in Northern Ireland. They support day labourers at Airin area (Kamagasaki) in Osaka. When I joined the activity, I took a few pictures...
At Ebisu-cho station midnight.
Here is the terminal of the tram in Osaka. After the last train goes, day labourers are allowed to sleep on the platforms. The members of Lighthouse Church are distributing blankets, used clothes, rice balls, miso soup and tracts.

In Lighthouse Church.
What are you talking?
  • GET Japan The author wrote "Homeless in the Rising Sun". The most pages are written in Japanese, yet you can read a part of this book in English and Spanish here.
  • The Big Issue Japan Well, I suppose no need to explain...
  • Kamapat Katsudo Nisshi The volunteer group supporting homeless in the north part of Osaka. According to their report, the local government seems quite harsh. Osaka city is now keen on evicting homeless out of parks, and it has been done in a quite violent manner.
  • In pictures: Japan's homeless BBC News team reports homeless in Osaka with pictures.
