Welcome to Nagoro Scarecrow Village, which has more scarecrows than people. This is a heartwarming but sad example of Japan’s disappearing towns. You may already know about Japan’s aging population and declining birth rate. That plus young people moving to bigger cities for work and social opportunities contributes to the declining population in small towns. It’s predicted that as many as 744 towns and villages across Japan could disappear by 2050. 📍Tokushima Prefecture Follow @franklinthewoman for more Japan life & travel 🎥 May 2022 ⚠️permission is required to repost.
