Kurobeno Taiyo ruin Quarrying here from around 1905Weathered buildings line a quiet road in Yubari, Hokkaido, their faded signs catching afternoon sun. The street sits within the broader commercial fabric of a city that once supported more than 100,000 residents at the peak of its coal industry. Yubari filed for fiscal rehabilitation in 2007, carrying debt of approximately 35. 3 billion yen, and its population has continued to fall in the years since.
