The Japanese Megalopolis spans 75 km, housing over 31 million residents, including major cities like Tokyo, Yokohama, and Osaka. This densely populated region features extensive industrial and transport networks, highlighted by the Shinkansen (bullet train) system. Innovative infrastructure, including tunnels and bridges, addresses physical constraints, while reclaimed land contributes to urban expansion. Recent developments reveal a thriving service industry and international hubs, fostering economic growth alongside the agricultural northern regions, which remain less populated.
