The article is about Tokyo specifically not Japan as a whole.

Japan's population is decreasing but Tokyo specifically is as people migrate to the big cities increasing.

Increasing to the point htat Japan is paying people to leave Tokyo and move elsewhere

That's weird because the countryside is amazing compared to the ugliness of Tokyo (speaking as a tourist)

One global trend is urbanisation. Partly this is because of jobs, but it's also because of socialisation

I may think that living in a city is horrible, but it seems that even if you take away work people still choose to live in high density areas.
