The Kamagasaki area of Osaka City has a high concentration of simple lodging houses and has long been an area that has received day laborers. After the collapse of the bubble economy, the homeless problem became more serious and the area was transformed into a "welfare town," but in recent years, the number of foreign backpackers has increased rapidly, and the area is now undergoing development. Historically, this area has functioned as an "intermediate residence" that transcends the limited single function of housing and accommodations, and is a practical phenomenon that indicates the future of housing and citys in society.
