This paper summarizes the municipal mergers that have been implemented over the past in Japan. The focus of this paper is an evaluation of the “the Heisei Mergers” (1999-2010) conducted to change socioeconomic issues such as declining population, declining birthrate and aging population, and establish the administrative and financial infrastructure appropriate for the basic municipality that will serve as a base for decentralization. The author takes an in-depth look at the effect of municipal merger and future municipalities.
