Yep thats pretty much the main reason. Though Japans population did get better for a while but then suddenly it come crashing down again and continues to fall year after year. They are going to have a real problem maintaining their infrastructure after a while. When i spoke to some of my female Japanese friends about the subject i basically got these replies.
1.Who has time to have children.
2.Children are expensive.
3.I'm not married nor do i have the time to look for a spouse because of work.
Take a look at this graph its like upside down skyscraper just waiting to come crashing down.
