On the final parts of the Substory, before you head to Fuji Street, make sure to save the game. There are some high level enemies here that may take you out.

You must have completed Substory 29: Litterbugged for this Substory to be available. Head to this location and speak with the lady and the police officer to start this Substory. Then head into the Worldwide Market Village. You then need to wait until night. It was dark for me, but still wasn’t considered night time. I followed the story into Chapter 7 and then noticed her icon at the Worldwide Market Village. When you get prompted, use the Rocket Launcher. This is another tough fight, Sojimaru is weak to fire.
