Sharing is an important part of the culture in Japan, but culturally it is hard for people to take in strangers often for no other reason than there literally isn't the space. In Tokyo, often one's living room becomes a dining room by dinner and a bedroom at night. Families are most often helpful to family members in need, and if there was a displaced person with family in Tokyo or where ever, I am sure they would not be left on the streets. If people are staying in refugee centers, it is probably because they either have no family to go to, or have no means to get to them.

It is interesting to hear of that side of Iran's culture.
