That is a problem with most developed countries to be honest.
It is happening to China too.

I know,and happening regardless of whether restrictions are relaxed in more developed areas of China.It is happening to China too.
It's essentially heading to being exactly that right now as it was before the 1990-2015 period where China managed an ascendancy that is now fading; Japan just replaced China as the second largest stock market, for example. Japan's economy is almost as large as the Anglo-French economies combined and it matches both in GDP PPP per capita; she also has more destroyers than both of the aforementioned nations combined. The Japanese have also reconstituted their Marine Corps, de-facto admit the "Helicopter Destroyers" are backdoor aircraft carriers and it's been reported they're seeking missiles along with exploring the possibility of an independent nuclear force; this is among other examples of their growing military might to match that of their economic might. Japan also has its own foreign base to combat piracy off the Horn of Africa, which is a serious step in projecting military power abroad.
but on the flipside, they've been stagnant for over a decade pretty much. Their is next to no growth in terms of wages (then again, somewhat common problem throughout the developed world not unique to Japan i suppose).
Almost everywhere you look in the details of the Japan story you find that the basket case story could not be further from the truth. Just look at Japanese corporations. Virtually without exception they have continued to boost their revenues -- and maintained their employment levels -- in the face of a constantly rising yen. The Japanese car industry, for instance, has continued to make extraordinary gains. Toyota boasted sales in its latest fiscal year to $259.5 billion, more than three times its 1989 total of $84.1 billion. And this in a year when output was greatly curtailed by the earthquake. Nissan meanwhile clocked $119.0 billion, also more than triple 1989. Similarly the rest of the Japanese auto industry has gone from strength to strength. The same cannot be said for Detroit. Ford Motor’s sales last year totaled $133.3 billion, up a mere 44 percent on $92.4 billion in 1989. General Motors’s sales were $150.3 billion, up just 24 percent on $121.1 billion in 1989. Not only have the Detroit companies retreated in the face of Japanese advances in the American domestic market but their European subsidiaries have also long been ceding share, as have such European players as Peugeot-Citroen, Volvo, Jaguar, and, of course, Renault.
Nobody would be immigrating to a post-Downfall Japan.Maybe have Operation Downfall occur and devastate Japan to the point where they need to accept immigrants.
