More than 70% of Japan’s population lives on just 2% of its land, packed into a narrow coastal strip between Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka. This stretch is called the Taiheiyō Belt, and it holds nearly 80 million people in one long chain of cities, factories, and lights. If you look at Japan from space at night, you’ll see a glowing band, Tokyo through Osaka, surrounded by darkness. But here’s the twist: Japan’s total population is shrinking, fast. It peaked at 128 million in 2010. By 2065, it may fall to just 88 million. Yet somehow, these three cities keep growing more crowded. Why? Because this isn’t just about people choosing where to live. It’s about deep geography, ancient history, powerful economies, and the slow fading of Japan’s countryside.
