Tokyo isn't having population decline, its the countryside.
Ironically, Tokyo has one of the lowest fertility rates in Japan. It's only still growing because it keeps drawing in basically all of the young people from the countryside.
Because Tokyo keeps getting immigrants from the countryside to cancel out its disastrously low birthrates.
