Tourism and Ethics in Japanese Shrinking Cities

Within Japan, a slow moving crisis is underway. The elderly population is growing, yet the overall population is shrinking, and cities and villages across the country are shrinking. By 2040, the National Institution of Population and Social Security has predicted that the population will drop 20 million from 127 mil. to 107 mil. people. And that in this same time period, 896 cities, towns, and villages are predicted to become extinct.
