Thanks Holly and welcome to TG! What a wonderfully informative piece about small-town Japan. I'll try to visit Iiyama City on my next trip to Japan.

Fascinating insight into small town life in Japan! I had no idea how serious the reduction of population in these towns were. One would think the natural wonders of the area alone would help bring in residents. Thanks for enlightening article!

I sure hope things work out well for Iiyama! There seem to be so many places that have lost people and jobs and so forth, and so few of them get such a chance as the Bullet Train. Thank you for a sweet story that's maybe got a happy ending.

I've never been to Japan but it is a country that I wanted to visit for a very long time. I love their history, architecture, language, traditions and I would like to learn more about it. Thank you for your post, I never heard about this city but any information about something I don't know is an information worth having. Good job!

A small town in Japan struggles with declining population, and pins its hopes of growth on tourism and the recent arrival of a 'bullet train' station.
