【全国一人が消えた】人口43万人から減少が止まらず衰退都市に…東京1時間圏なのに若者から選ばれず、5軒に1軒が空き家となった首都圏の限界都市を調査

The population continues to decline. Climb the 200 steps up a staircase — a place where cars can’t even reach — and you’ll find that one in five homes now stands vacant. So how did it come to this? In this video, we take a closer look at the current reality of Yokosuka City in Kanagawa Prefecture.
