i suspect they are not seeing much immigration, i think that is also the case with Japan.
it could be that they have fewer building regulations than in North America, but i don’t know for sure.
Tokyo had a large building boom to alleviate housing prices and shortages

Yeah, clearly the demand is not so high: maybe it is dying out faster and faster and so the whole villages are being left empty. I’ve heard about some cheap places there, about foreigners buying houses, retired people moving there. Spain is something like Florida in the US. Same likely true for Italy. Greece as well. Not sure about Japan though.
