I would like to introduce you to you.
The population peaked in 1953, shortly after the war, and was "172,183".
Subsequently, the progress of high economic growth and urbanization, the bubble economy and the process of its collapse.
For this reason, the population continued to decline over 44 years.
In April 1997, the number decreased to a record low of 71,806.
Under these circumstances, the ward has positioned “restoration of the population” as the most important issue.

In 1998, the number increased by 297 from the previous year for the first time in 45 years.

It has been achieved, and now it is around 170,000 people.
