In 1800, the population of Japan was just over 30 million, a figure which would grow by just two million in the first half of the 19th century. However, with the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate and the restoration of the emperor in the Meiji Restoration of 1868, Japan would begin transforming from an isolated feudal island, to a modernized empire built on Western models. The Meiji period would see a rapid rise in the population of Japan, as industrialization and advancements in healthcare lead to a significant reduction in child mortality rates, while the creation overseas colonies would lead to a strong economic boom. However, this growth would slow beginning in 1937, as Japan entered a prolonged war with the Republic of China, which later grew into a major theater of the Second World War. The war was eventually brought to Japan's home front, with the escalation of Allied air raids on Japanese urban centers from 1944 onwards (Tokyo was the most-bombed city of the Second World War). By the war's end in 1945 and the subsequent occupation of the island by the Allied military, Japan had suffered over two and a half million military fatalities, and over one million civilian deaths.

The population figures of Japan were quick to recover, as the post-war “economic miracle” would see an unprecedented expansion of the Japanese economy, and would lead to the country becoming one of the first fully industrialized nations in East Asia. As living standards rose, the population of Japan would increase from 77 million in 1945, to over 127 million by the end of the century. However, growth would begin to slow in the late 1980s, as birth rates and migration rates fell, and Japan eventually grew to have one of the oldest populations in the world. The population would peak in 2008 at just over 128 million, but has consistently fallen each year since then, as the fertility rate of the country remains below replacement level (despite government initiatives to counter this) and the country's immigrant population remains relatively stable. The population of Japan is expected to continue its decline in the coming years, and in 2020, it is estimated that approximately 126 million people inhabit the island country.

By August 1945, U.S. and British Commonwealth forces had pushed the Japanese back through Southeast Asia to the Japanese mainland, while Japanese control in China was weakening each day, and the Soviet Union was rapidly approaching from the west. However, despite inevitable defeat looming over the Empire of Japan, its military leaders encouraged its forces to fight to the death, and Japanese resistance grew in ferocity as they were pushed back to the mainland, most notably on the islands of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. As U.S. leadership realized that an amphibious assault on the Japanese mainland would result in heavy and unnecessary casualties on both sides, including large numbers of civilians, an alternative measure was sought. The USSR's advance also put time pressure on the Americans, as defeating Japan quickly would give the U.S. more time to assert control over the region, without having to split control with the Soviets (as was the case in Germany). The bombs are dropped On May 31, 1945, it was suggested that the U.S. demonstrate the power of the atomic bomb to the Japanese, to convince them to surrender - the plan was rejected, however, in the fear that it was not convincing enough, that the Japanese may shoot down the plane, or that the bomb was a dud - instead, a surprise attack was viewed as the most effective course of action. Following the Trinity Test in July 16, the United States achieved the goal of successfully creating and detonating a nuclear weapon. On July 26, the leaders of the U.S., UK, and China all called for the unconditional surrender of Japan, otherwise Japan would face "prompt and utter destruction". Japan did not surrender, and on the morning of August 6, the Enola Gay B-29 bomber dropped an atomic bomb, known as "Little Boy", over the city of Hiroshima. Japan still refused to surrender, and three days later, another bomb, known as "Fat Man", was dropped over Nagasaki. Japan's surrender was announced on August 15, and formalized on September 2, 1945, bringing WWII to a close. Impact The bomb dropped over Hiroshima was a uranium 235 bomb, which detonated at approximately 580 meters (1,900ft) above the ground and had a yield of 16 kilotons (i.e. it had the same blast force as 16,000 tons of TNT). The bomb dropped over Nagasaki was a plutonium 239 bomb, which detonated at approximately 500 meters (1,650ft) and had a yield of 21 kilotons. The temperatures at the epicenter of the explosions reached around 3,000-4,000 degrees Celsius, and thermal radiation was so strong that it caused third degree burns over a kilometer from ground zero. The majority of those within a one km radius of both explosions were killed instantly through the blast force and intense heat, while those further away were more susceptible to injuries by burning, falling debris and glass, and radiation. Additionally, as the fallout from the blast (i.e. radioactive dust and ash sent into the air by the explosion) returned to the ground it was carried by the wind to populations outside of the blast radius, and radiation sickness then took hold over the days and weeks that followed. Due to the nature of the attack, Japan's population distribution at the time, and the long-term effects of radiation poisoning (which may be responsible for illnesses and death several years after exposure), there is no accepted consensus on the total number of deaths due to the atomic bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki -the figures given appear to be on the lower end of estimate ranges, where combined estimates generally vary between 110,000 and 210,000 deaths.

Tokyo Prefecture continued to be a magnet for domestic migration in Japan, attracting nearly 58,500 new residents from other prefectures in 2023. By contrast, Hiroshima Prefecture showed the highest population loss due to outbound migration within the country, with a net loss of approximately 7,400 migrants. Attractiveness of Tokyo The population density in the prefecture has grown over the past two decades, surpassing 6,400 inhabitants per square kilometer in 2020. The appealing nature of Tokyo is also reflected in the age demographics of the metropolis, with most residents falling within the working-age group of 15 to 64 years. Numerous prestigious universities and large corporations make the area a popular destination for young people with aspirations. Depopulation of rural areas The migration patterns across Japan's prefectures indicate significant regional disparities. While Tokyo leads in population size with 14 million inhabitants in 2023, prefectures like Tottori struggle to retain residents, counting only about 540,000 people. This imbalance has prompted concerns about the sustainability of rural communities and has led to various initiatives aimed at revitalizing less populous areas. The Japanese government faces the complex task of addressing these demographic shifts while also navigating challenges resulting from a nationwide aging population due to prolonged life expectancy and fertility decline.
