Japan's 2025 national census indicates that the five prefectures of the Chugoku region, including Yamaguchi, are seeing accelerating population decline driven by natural decrease, as deaths outnumber births. Aging rates are rising in Chugoku and Shinetsu, and the average age of residents has surpassed 50, underscoring Japan's deepening demographic crisis in regional areas.
Why now: The release of 2025 census data highlights Japan's accelerating rural depopulation and aging crisis.
