Having lived in Hiroshima and many, many cities of varying size across Japan, I can tell you that that picture is not only misleading but does not reflect the reality of most cities throughout Japan. There has been a trend over the last 20+ years of young Japanese people moving from small cities to the 2 major population centers, and now a decentralization is underway from the cities to the surrounding suburbs. Combine that with a steady population decrease and you will find an overabundance of unkempt and uninhabited property from 2 blocks off the Shinjuku station in downtown Tokyo to the smallest village on Shikoku. Murica might not be the best but I can tell you from personal experience that Japan isn't either.

While the US is definitely collapsing, Japan may actually be in worse straights from a debt slavery perspective.
