Kinugasa Korean Ghetto

from the cliff top, look down, there is a slam I found in Kyoto.
But, how can I get down there? no road I can find.



I found this little alley that might be connected to the area.






































































































I really like to go to find Korean ghetto because it is really hard to find,
very little info, and makes me feel very nervous because I am so out-sider.




Nishinari 2005

Anti-war, Anti-unemployment May Day.









































many cheap hotels.












































streets of Nishinari.








They got job for cleaning up this area. They need this job.















You see many guys sleeping in the street in this area. also drug dealers.














































Workers. Do nothing.

























An illegaly-operated food store in the street. They don't sell foods, they sell meth.
I read a news that they got busted in this year.



Nishinari is the biggest town of workers in Japan. Many workers living in here staying in
cheap hotels called "Doya".
I got here in the summer of 2005 by myself. And I got culture shock.
