Demographically the most crowded regions and cities in Japan are Kyushu, Honshu, Yokohama, Kyoto, Osaka, Kawasaki, Kobe, and many more. Tokyo, the capital city of Japan is the largest municipal city in Japan with highest number of population. Japan has a high number of urban populations. Japan also has the highest population of elderly people across the globe. Japanese society is linguistically and ethnically very pure with 98% of the population speaking Japanese. The other 2% consists of immigrants and new Japanese population of mainly Chinese Koreans, and Loochoos, as well as the tiny native smaller group of the Ainu on Hokkaido. The Japan’s government, as an official strategy, does not recognize full citizenship of many immigrants who have lived in Japan for many generations and decades (kinyau 89) Works Cited Lie, John.
