If you have nowhere to turn, use the public safety net

If you cannot find a suitable place here, or if your life is hard in general and not only because of food, you can consult the Self-Reliance Support Office in the ward or city where you live. It is free, and they can think with you about work, housing, and money.

The list is on "Minna Tsunagaru Network", a project commissioned by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (Japanese).
