Are you aware of the poverty that exists within Japan?

Kotobuki-chiku, located in Yokohama's Naka-ku, is one of the
largest low-income lodging areas in Japan, with approximately
6,500 people living in 120 shelters.

Non-profit organization "Sanagi-tachi" works in this area to
provide support to people who have lost everything: their
jobs, houses, and families. "Sanagi-tachi" not only gives
material aid, but also mental and physical support as well.

On this field trip, in order to learn more about the reality of
Japanese society, we will take a tour around kotobuki-chiku and
find out more about the activities that NPO Sanagi-tachi undertakes.
Use this opportunity to become more aware of the current problems
in Japanese society.
