日本一人口の少ない市 北海道 歌志内市の現状【現地散策】2024年ver.※消滅可能性自治体

Utashinai City, Hokkaido, is the least populated city in Japan. As of January 1, 2024, there are only about 2,633 residents in this city, which developed from a former coal mine. At its peak in 1948 (Showa 23), the population exceeded 46,171,100,000, Although the population exceeded 46,171,000 in 1948 (Showa 23), it did not exceed the requirements to become a “city”, However, the number of residents did not exceed 50,000 in 1948, and the city was incorporated as a city. However, the population gradually declined without ever exceeding 50,000. Later, the coal industry declined due to a change in Japan's energy policy, In 1981, Utashinai became the only city with a population of less than 10,000. And so on to the present day.
