Japan is also the unique case of a developed country with declining population. That must contribute to the higher availability of affordable housing, right?

Far from unique. Look at Europe.

The aging population is countered by powerful forces:
- movement into few urban mega-centers (you can't even say "into cities" because there are plenty of cities with little or even negativ population gain)
- immigration (e.g. see https://www.reuters.com/article/us-germany-immigration/immig...) -- and they mostly want into the already crowded areas, of course
- aging population needs different homes than young families
