There are so few homeless in Japan that it's not really worth talking about. I have seen maybe one homeless person there.

One average sized city in the US probably has more homeless people than the entire nation of Japan.

It is a lot of homeless people but they sleep in internet cafes instead https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_cafe_refugee

Damn, you werent kidding! They had 3,992 homeless people in 2020. That's 0.3 per 10k. The US were at 582,462, or 17.5 in 10k in 2022.
