Yakuza Gangster Gives Me A House Tour In Okinawa Japan ()

The Yakuza. A criminal organization that has taken on an almost mythical reputation after being portrayed in movies, video games and books. But at the end of the day, they're people - perhaps with a few more problems than you or I, but people. During my visit to Okinawa, I had the chance to meetup again with my now friend Yuyama-san. He lives there now, and wanted to introduce me to his other ex-Yakuza friend. Many former criminals struggle to adapt back to normal life, and in Japan this is especially difficult. I was curious to see how these guys were doing. Little did I know I'd have to drink chinko-enhancing snake venom before the night was done.. ------- My Instagram: sabbatical.tommy My Patreon: www.patreon.com/sabbaticaltommy?fan_landing=true Yuyama's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shinyayuyama/?igshid=Nzg3NjI1NGI%3D Yuyama's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV51yAsBRde3r6FZnmpOOTg #sabbatical #yakuza #japan
